Hi,
Having used Debian for my whole GNU/Linux life, I've noticed that
fresh installs of late don't have the kernel compilation tools I'd
expect.
Most notably binutils and libncurses-dev seem to be missing even after
I apt-get the kernel-source (I don't expect Debian to be psychic and
know about m

Hi,
the pkgadd stuff is Solaris official, but if you're looking to manage
GNU software checkout "stow" (which is also available as a .deb for
your Debian box)
I use it to manage /usr/local/ on every OS with a /usr/local, it's a
perl script that allows orderly install and removal of software

This is kernel stuff, what are you looking for the Distro to do
to/with it. It's there to use, I've set up a few laptops with Debian
and had no complaints. If I recall apm isn't
Hi,
ran a dist-upgrade last night on my "unstable" box and xserver-xfree86
is stuck in unconfigurable limbo.

Hi,
Try XF86Setup this config utility allows you to tweeak the device
settings and see the results (there are ofcourse many key bindings for

Hi,
you can use regular apt or dpkg commands to remove openssh, and use
"alien" to transform the new openssh tarball into a .deb so that you
can manage it with the packaging system.

Hi,
I'm very near to implementing Debian as an (hopefully "the") GNU/Linux
distribution here, the main sticking point is installs.
Is there a tool to do automated NFS installs for Debian?
I'm looking for a one floppy solution that at minimum will install and
configure the base system including:

I use mutt, very happy with it especially the threading.

Hi,
I don't know what it is, but I've never goten these cards to work on
Debian when built as modules (even when they worked with the same
module and setting in a different distro, this is particularly weird
because I rebuilt the kernel sever times under each distro with the
same results).
So, co

You most certainly *do not* need to reboot
That's what loadable modules are all about, inserting kernel level
