Install Debian over loopfs-based Linux

If a person has a loop file system Linux already running (say in a large file in FAT32 e.g. Peanut Linux), how can she install Debian over it without booting from the Debian install CDs? The reason is, when one boots from the Debian CD, the loopfs is no longer visible to the installer to be spec

Thanks, but how do I use find -maxdepth 1 -type d to just display the directories in the current directory, and not to recurse into subdirectories, *and* to display all the directories' permissions? Thanks very much! Lynn > >I use "find -type f" for that. > > >-- >To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [

ls and directories only

I know this must be a silly question, but I have tried looking at the man and the --help and could not find it: How does one use the ls command to display just the directories' names, and suppress those which are not directories? In MS-DOS, it was dir /ad Doing ls -ld * does not do it as it onl

sftp file creation mask

Where do I set up the file creation mask so that when someone uses sftp to upload a file to a Debian system, it results in file permissions other than rw-r--r-- ? I have tried adding umask in .bash_profile for the username of the uploader, but it has no effect. Thanks in advance! Lynn _

Re: Configuring AC97 sound

pile the kernel? Or use the bf24 kernel? In the latter case, how do I simply replace the kernel? By rerunning the CD install and have it not wipe out my / partition? Thanks for any input! Lynn --- Kent West <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Lynn W. wrote: > > How do I activate sound so

Configuring AC97 sound

How do I activate sound so I can play music files in KDE using XMMS? I did a basic install of Debian 3.0 Woody, and after successfully configuring web server type stuff, decided to see how to get a desktop environment up and running out of curiosity. So I installed x-window-system, kde, kdm and xm

apache-ssl or libapache-mod-ssl ?

Hello I've configured Debian 3.0 Woody 2.2 kernel with (regular) Apache, PHP4, and MySQL, as well as ColdFusion MX for Linux. I thought I might want to install webmin to administer the server, but since webmin is web based, I realised I should perhaps have SSL installed for Apache. My question is,
