HELP,
I finally took the plunge and upgraded my linux
server from slink to frozen last night. After running
apt-get dist-upgrade and moving from 2.0.36 to 2.2.14,
I can no longer dial out to the internet. When I try
to run pon, syslog reports that /dev/ttyS2 (my modem)
is locked. I tried doin
I have compiled a 2.2.14 kernel with Unix98 pty support. Is there a
package that will create the appropiate files/links under /dev ? I
don't want to boot the kernel until the tty's are created, else I may
not be able to get a console after booting.

A few weeks ago, I purchased the one-CD Debian starter kit that
includes a copy of O'Reilly's Learning Debian. I managed to
install the files on the CD, and at the moment I have a working
text-based Debian system.
I would, however, like to have an *updated* working text-based

I have this dilemma every time I configure a new Debian box and am setting
up which mirror to point dselect and apt to.
I want to find the sites that have fewer hops and lower ping times than the
rest so that I can use the sites that are "closer" (not geographically,

Do I need to allow it to start as root in order to do this?

Hello;
Is there a way to do an "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" but have it download
the source, build it, then install it? I can do this just fine
specifying the package I want, but is there a way to do a complete
upgrade?
TIA,
Ron

Hello,
I have a problem:
Since a few days something is sending out IGMP packages to 224.0.0.1
and this is bad for several reasons. First, 224.0.0.1 is in the
private range of multicast addresses[1] (IIRC) so something must be
incorrectly configured. Second, I can't find the program responsible

I called my Debian system "Debby Anne". : ) I do pronounce it as
debby-in, though. : )

P200MMX, Triton 430TX, IIRC (ASUS TX97-E). It seems like it must be the

If I turn off "using_dma", my 9.4 drops down to 5.2. None of the other
switches make much difference except this one.

Hi all -
I've recently been trying to make fetchmail/procmail filter all mails into
a set of mbox-type mailspools. However, when procmail puts a mail into one
of these spools, a number of important header lines are missing (including
the customary beginning 'From').

Well, there is "http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages";
Choose the distribution you want (stable, unstable or frozen), then
snoop around until you find what you need. All the dependencies are
shown for each package and you have the opportunity to download those
packages you need/want. Use "dpkg
Recently folks here pointed out to me that it was known that gcc 2.95 is
not to be used for 2.2.x kernels.
Others said that it was OK with 2.2 kernels but not 2.0 kernels.
Looking at various kernel and gcc deb packages in potato, I saw hints of
the latter statement, but it didn't seem real clear

I care so much that using a deprecated back-door hack just won't do. I need
some configurablilty that isn't going to just disappear out of the blue,
forcing me to retrograde back to a previous version like I've just had to do
when the default root moved

Try this:
Set up two machines (for a completely implausible scenario, let's say that
the two machines are at your work and at your house) to read from the same
POP server.
Now, you have two options when you configure your mail program: leave
messages
Hi!
At work I´m using exmh (and mh therefore) to read my mail, if I have to access
it from home (much too often :-/ ) currently I either open exmh on the remote
machine via ssh´s port-forwarding (mainly because of the compression facility)
or mh´s built-in tools scan, show, repl etc.

its reccomended you use the linux fdisk to work with linux
partitions.. but you can still do it with dos fdisk .. make sure to delete
any logical drives before deleting the extended partition.
if possible, use partition magic...makes life easier :)
