Re: System/Bios Time

It looks like your bios (hardware) clock was set to local time but you told the debian installer that it was set to UTC (or maybe vice versa) then for some reason the bios clock drifted about a half-hour off (not sure what would cause that). Rather than ntpdate, I'd use ntp. Ntpdate run

Re: U3 and other firmware USB thumbdrives

The only usb key I have encountered with U3 on it was a sandisk. Every other kind I have is just a plain simple USB key. So I would say most are simply USB keys. If they have U3 or similar they tend to advertise it as if it was an amazing and useful feature. Useful links for getting rid

Is there any way to turn off IPv6 in the stock Debian 2.6.30 kernel without recompiling?

The 2.6.30 kernel seems to have ipv6 turned on and compiled-in -- i.e. not a module. Does this make it impossible to turn off IPv6? Or am I missing something... I'm on a network where the router advertises an ipv6 prefix and route, but that route is flakey (it's been out for over a we

"aptitude safe-upgrade" in sid has several broken packages

I understand "normal sid churn", but usually a problem like this is fixed in a couple of days. These packages have been broken for well over a week.So I thought I'd bring the problem to a larger audience, in hopes that somebody who knows more than I do could give it some attention.
