No, Debian uses a more stable (IMHO) arrangement where libc provides
its own version of the kernel head

Argh! What a can of worms this has opened up. I've tested which on
several other systems and also looked at the source of the 2 examples
posted. The problem is that they all have DIFFERENT behavior.
What do you do given two arguments, "which ls cat", for example? Print
them both out? Print on

I came across a WWW site of potential interest on this topic tonight:
Part 3 of the comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.video at

In it, they list a number of sites specifically devoted to 3D, among
which are:

ncurses-base wouldn't install, because of a fairly knotty series of

I got lost, couldn't restrict the activities of dselect to the
business at hand
Who maintains the debian mailing list(s)?
I'd like to suggest that the "Reply-To:" header

EG: "Reply-To: debian-user@lists.debian.org"
Was this purposely omitted?

I know that there are many people who don't like dselect.
I'm not interested in hearing any more complaints or even extensive
suggestions for improvement, unless the person complaining is

Yup, Debian 0.93R6 was a.out, and the Debian 1.1 that's currently available
for beta testing is all ELF.

I recently upgraded several packages in the unstable directory including the
modules package. I am running kerneld. After the upgrade, when I tried
to execute pppd I get "Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support".
When I try to do insmod ppp I get:
slhc_free undefined
slhc_init undefined
Package: syslogd
Version: 1.3-2

debian-bugs if you aren't adding something useful.
