daemons are located in /etc/init.d
to start lpd for example
# /etc/init.d/lpd start
to stop
# /etc/init.d/lpd stop
to control which runlevel a daemon is stopped/started automatically, use the

# update-rc.d -f lpd add
hope this helps you out!

Use the command update-rc.d, you can easily manage the rc directories with
it

Hi,
You need to install binutils, as you are missing the as86 assembler.
Also, i would run make bzImage, instead of make zImage, compression on the
kernel will be better.

Hey,
PHP needs the apache source dir to properly compile. Your php configure
line should look more like this
$./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 --with-interbase --with-apxs
$ make
$ make install
You then must tell apache to use the php4 module
$ cd ../apache_1.3.12

i wouldn't replace it, but simply add linux to the menu so each os can
safely coexist. here is a little utility that will do that for you,
provided you install LILO at the beginning of your root partition, and NOT
the mbr.

I don't know what version that magazine had, but if you got to

The download size is i think 300 megs?? I would order the cd though. It
comes in a few weeks, and its a full working, unlimited version. I can't
remember anything about the license though, that is probably where they get

Hi Stan,
you don't need anything extra to install Oracle 8i in Debian. java comes
with oracle, you need no extra java packages. If your not building a
production machine, 64MB would probably work, but I would not run X at the
same time, otherwise, go with 128MB. Hope this helps

I think previous versions required this. Earlier than 8.1.6. But Oracle
was nice enough, and smart enough, to include this in 8i for us

what modultils version are you using?? the 2.4 series requires at least
version 2.3.18 or above. check your

I have compiled everything from 2.4 test5 on up to 2.4.1 pre8 on my woody
box, using gcc 2.95.2 and it has worked fine, without any compiler
complications. to disable framebuffer you will need to recompile.
