I would like dpkg-ftp to become part of the "base system", which is the
stuff that is a required part of Debian. It's necessary so that
mostly-net installs would work. Dpkg-ftp ha

No, I think dpkg is fine the way it is; I would like to see dselect
enhanced. Dpkg needs to be able to do something

Emacs with the VIP vi-emulation. Once you drop the emulation, you get a real

More info on dpkg / dselect install jobs can be found in /var/lib/dpkg

please check dselect --help and / or dpkg --help
Perhaps more sofisticated ways to log exist but I don't know about them.

Hi,
I could really use someones help.
When booting I get the following errors when calculating dependencies.
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/3c501.o
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/3c509.o
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/1.2.13/net/
I found this in my machine, but couldn't trace it to any package...
It's also not in Contents for the stable/unstable tree, and a grep in
/var/lib/dpkg doesn't show anything.

dpkg activity logging is on Ian J's wish list, but the poor fellow has quite
some things on his plate, so don't expect it before Debian 1.2 (ie roundabout

NetBlazer, to a Cisco/USR managed modem bank, and it supports PAP.

Until Ian has the spare time to include activity logging in

I use dselect to decide which packages I want to install remove.

Chris,
My test-bed for the 1.1 install is a slow 386 with 4MB + 640K . This
machine has Linux installed on it several times a week :-) . The RAM
disk implementation in the new kernels uses less memory (it used to
have a RAM cache of the RAM disk). The installation tools on 1.1 also
use less RAM th
During make config (second or third line) there is a line about config mod
version or something to that effect. You want to choose no for this option
then the modules should load correctly.

Ah! True enough. Guess it's best to just fire off a single warning to the
supposed offender, their postmaster, and the postmaster of their upstream site
