1998-09-19 Thread Gary L. Hennigan
I'm thinking about making the upgrade to slink since it has a couple of additions I'd like to try. After hearing all the great things about apt-get I thought I'd give it a try. I have a local mirror of the Debian ftp site and I'm having trouble figuring out how to modify sources.list to point to it

I noticed that the version of "ps" in the frozen Debian 2.0 distribution is different than what was in 1.3. The thing I miss most about the version in 1.3 was the ability to define PS_PERSONALITY as POSIX and "ps" would act like the Posix version (or SYSV). I'm much more familiar with this but now
