Works well enough for me. Thanks, now I just wish I could
do a "dpkg -P -a" but that doesn't work.

Hello
Some distributions of Linux such as Red Hat,

about the current version installed, the CPU(s) present on the system,
how memory is partitioned, etc.

for the novice users. There is not much documentation to help in this area
either. Also, when updates are released .debs are usually the last to be

I use the command:
makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access
to generate the access.db file. This might work for aliases as well.

I have to disagree there. I've found Debian packs to be extremely up to
date, atleast on the security end. And even on routine maintanance, the lag
is not that bad.

Hi all,
After 6 weeks and a Slink->Potato upgrade, I've got to say I like Debian
a whole lot and am definitely going to move it on up to the big box as
soon as Potato goes stable and CD's are available...
But*, one tiny, core question remains. Which is it: /usr/src,
/usr/local/source, /usr/local/
Colin,
A perfect answer. Clear. To the point. Actionable.
Thank you,

Hello Group,
Im running Samba and was wondering how I set up a Windows98 machine to login
into the debian server and to be auth. ?
debs,
i'm just upgrading my slink lapbox to potato (on the
2.0.36 kernel). my boot hangs at scsi.
i copied a scsi-free kernel into /boot. but it still
tries to boot the scsi kernel and then hangs.
i renamed /boot/linux to /boot/vmlinux-2.0.36, the name
of the kernel that i had been using. ..
Folks,
I have used dpkg, and been forced to use rpm, and rpm is just as good, more
or less.
The problem is that there is nothing equivalent to dselect or apt in RedHat.
I rarely call dpkg directly, unless libc6 is stuck again ;-), but the
nearest that RedHat has to a mid-level tool is GnoRPM, whi
I'm sure this is a FAQ somewhere, but I can't find it on my system

Dariush,
Assuming you are worried by people with promiscuous ethernet cards,
packet-sniffing. Put in a second NIC, run a crossover UTP? I assume the
machine's are close by. Hotswapping a hard disk seems risky, if you do it
daily.
On the other hand, if you are not CPU constrained, run PPTP or

Actually, from what I've been told, rpm has at least one serious
technical flaw: The order of execution for pre-install and
post-install scripts is nonsensical for upgrades.

The virtual resolution will be as large as the largest screen resolution
listed (absent a Virtual line). So, if you delete 1280x1024, leaving
1024x768 800x600 640x480 you'll get a virtual screen size of 1024x768 no
