Compiling package from "testing" for potato

2001-04-27 Thread Mark
uild hotplug, it put all the source files and compiled .deb in the current directory. Should I have made a directory /usr/local/src/hotplug and cd'ed to it before issuing this command? Is this where you should keep these source packages in a traditional debian layout? Regards. Mark.

Re: no usbmgr for 2.4.x kernels?

2001-04-28 Thread Mark
too: apt-get source --build usbutils This will create a file called /sbin/hotplug which does the same stuff as usbmgr did for the 2.2 kernels. Alternatively if you are already running a "testing" / "Woody" system then just do: apt-get install hotplug Cheers. Mark.
