Is there a Debian-specific howto or man page for recompiling
the kernel? I apt-got the kernel-source-2.2.14 and
kernel-package packages, but after installation, /usr/src
did not have a directory containing the source for kernel
2.2.14 - just a single file, whose extension was .bz2. What

Does /tmp have to be physically located on the boot
partition, or can it be a symlink to /var/tmp on another
partition? I've seen conflicting statements in different

and others say that the boot process needs temp space, and
uses /tmp for

What's the difference between apt-get upgrade and

I'm running potato, with a locally compiled 2.2.14
kernel.
kerneld is installed by potato in the /etc/rcN.d
directories for runlevels 0-5. When it starts, I
get a message letting me know that "I really don't
want to be running kerneld in a 2.2+ kernel."
I've read through the referenced doc (/usr
When pppd is shutting down and calls ip-down, is the
ppp interface already dead, or can the network still
be used from that script? The man page for pppd
isn't explicit about it, but it sounds like it might
be too late already.
I'm using dyndns.org, and I'd like to have my ip-down

I just installed the ipmasq package, and hooked up my

On the Windows machine, I can hit some web sites, but

I have a debian box running pppoe and ipmasq set up as
a router/firewall for a home network. I have a Win98
machine behind the firewall.
I can't read news on the win98 machine (using my ISPs
news server, news1.sympatico.ca). I've tried a number
of news clients (OE5, Free Agent, etc) on the win98

When I read pgp-signed mail sent from Mutt with Outlook

I suspect that this is because Mutt is sending the message

Some packages install their docs in /usr/share/doc, but don't
add a symlink to /usr/doc -- is it ok for me to manually add
those symlinks after installation, or will that cause problems
with dpkg when it tries to update or remove those packages down
the road?

Is there any way to set up Exim to do password authentication
for host-auth-accept-relay using PAM? I've read chapter 33
(authentication) of the Exim manual, but it only describes how
to add a single user name - I'd like to allow any user with
a valid account on my machine to use their regular ema
Is it possible to install pppoe on slink? It isn't
listed at all on the slink package list, and the
potato version requires new potato versions of
ppp, libc, etc... I have a slink cd, and I have
boot disks for potato, but I can't complete a potato
installation (and install pppoe) without connecti
I have two Netgear EA201 NICs in my machine (486 running
potato). I have the NE2000 module set up for one of them;
how do I set it up for the second? Do I add another ne.o
line with different io/irq parameters to the conf.modules
file?
Thanks,
- Marc
I just installed potato, and installed the NE2000 driver
(ne) for my ethernet card. I manually set the "option=..."
and "alias eth0 ne" lines in modules.conf, and it loads
correctly on boot (printing a success message to the console).
However, when I look in /dev, there is no /dev/eth0 device;

I'd like to learn more about the anatomy of a debian
file system - what all the various [usr/[local/][s]bin
directories are for, where new apps I install (without
packages) should go, what /etc and /var are for, etc.
Is there a FAQ or HOWTO that I can read that covers
this stuff?
More generally,
How often are the debian mirrors updated?
I just installed potato a couple days ago, using the
Canadian pkg mirror at ftp.ca.debian.org. Today, I
ran apt-get update; apt-get upgrade for the first
time, and got 0 packages updated. On a hunch, I changed
my sources.list to point to http.us.debian.o
