Hello,
I just converted a Solaris x86 machine to Debian, and I'm having trouble
getting nis to work the way it used to. My home area is on a remote
machine, and I would like it to be mounted when I log in. I AM able to
log in via nis, so that much is working.
Under Solaris I used the files /e
I am trying to install Debian on an EISA wide SCSI machine. When the
resc1440.bin kernel boots (no boot parameters), it gets to the aic7xxx
section and properly detects the SCSI controller (Adaptec AHA 2740),
resets the SCSI bus, then panics with this message:
aic7xxx: (aicxxx_isr) Encountered s
I had this problem recently, and I believe that the solution may be to
reinstall the X fonts. The new xserver expects to find gzipped fonts,
and it is probably finding .Z files instead. Just download the various
xfnt*.deb packages, install them, and you'll be back in business.

This is a bit over my head, but one of the questions that you answer
while running 'make config' during kernel compilation has to do with
optimizing the kernel as a router rather than as a host. Perhaps this is
what you need to do.

I was beginning to suspect that the .gz might be the problem when I
discovered that 'mkfontdir' is actually NOT working. It just returns
without complaint, but it does not write a fonts.dir file. I believe
that this is because the .gz extension is preventing it from recognizing
the font files
I recently reinstalled all of the xfnt packages on my box, and this has
broken X. This is the error message I get when I run 'startx':
failed to set default font path '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

I'm a little confused by your message, but have you investigated the
.hook files that fvwm2 uses for configuration?

Thanks for the overwhelming response to my question. I chose the
shutdown.allow solution of evil genius Bonecrusher Rulnick. At least no
one can say that those debian types can't even turn off their computers!

It's in the admin section.
Here's how to find out such things:
/var/lib/dpkg/available is a list of all packages, where they reside,
dependencies, size, etc. This may not be the most elegant way to extract
the desired info, but I just typed 'more /var/lib/dpkg/available', then
hit '/' to start
Is there a way for a user without root priveleges to cleanly unmount the
root file system and shutdown the computer?
I've been running 'init 0' as root before turning off the box, but I
don't want to have to give out the root password to my family (it's bad
enough that I know it!) just so they
I inadvertently erased my /usr/lib directory (meaning to erase
/usr/local). I have tried to reconstruct it as best as I can, but I am
not sure that I have gotten everything. Here is the output of 'ls /usr/lib':
