host does not resolve names it should

Hi, I have a very strange problem. I have a Debian box at home, connected to an ISP (full with Slackware boxes). As the ISP's sysadmin left, I took the sysadmin role there. The main problem is that the ISP has it's domain, but it can't be resolved inside because there's a trick somewhere with eve

Re: What to do with all the doc files in /usr/share/doc?

I was looking for something more elegant. Most of the files of interest are gzip'ed files and none of the filemanagers/browsers I tried would unzip and display the contents. Besides, a search facility and/or index would be quite nice. Jim. Joachim Fahnenmüller wrote: On Wed, Oct 12, 2005

Re: How to install R 2.2.0 Debian 'unstable' package in otherwise 'sarge' system

Sometimes newer versions of programs can be found as "backports". I've never had any luck finding them, however. I think these are versions that have been put in unstable or testing and someone kindly generates a .deb for the stable environment. See what you can find about backports. Jim.

startup file authoring question

Does anybody know why startup scripts are always shell scripts? A number of the Debian scripts (apache, postfix, discover...) use awk, which is on the /usr partition. So is Perl. Why can't I write a startup in Perl? Sure would make my life easier... -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG ID:

startup script oops

apache and discover use /bin/sed, not /usr/bin/awk. apache2, alsa, and hylafax use awk, though... -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG ID: D0D7FF20 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dan, First off, there is even a r-sig-debian list in the universe of R mailing lists (c.f. the R FAQ). That probably provides a more focused readership than the union of r-help (where many won't know Debian) and debian-user (where many won't know R). On Wed, Oct 12, 2005 at 04:04:50PM -0500, Dan
