Re: smail queue processing question
I use a debian box running smail as our local and Internet mail server for our lan.

Thanks in advance, Al Youngwerth [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have been looking at the same problem. So far, the best solution I have seen uses diald.

perl_5.004.02-1 libgdbmg1_1.7.3-21
Hi! When trying to install Perl 5.004 (which Apache 1.2.4 depends on) I ran into the following problem. Perl 5.004 pre-dependends on libgdbmg1 (note the last g), but libgdbmg1_1.7.3-21 conflicts with ligdbm_1.7.3-19 (that came with my Debian 1.3.1 installation). And to uninstall libgdbm1 requires uninstallation of many packages (and is not an option for me). But I really need to get the latest Apache installed... Over to the questions: a) Whats the difference between libgdbmg1 and libgdbm1? And why can't they coexist? b) Any hints on how to install perl_5.004 without uninstalling perl_5.003 (and all dependent software)?

scsi zip zip accelerator card CD
Hi, Does any one have a SCSI zip SCSI zip accelerator card and were able to get these recognized during installation? I am trying to repartion reinstall debian 1.3, and seem to get through most steps except getting the ZIP drive to work. I also notice that after each step of the installation a message in the background saying that my cdrom tray is open. It is not. Having gone through the installation a couple times, I know I can mount the CDROM drive once the installation is complete. I don't know if there is an IRQ conflict between the CDROM and the SCSI. I wonder about this because I have an IDE Mitsumi CDROM drive and when I try to install these drivers command-line options are preset to: mc mcd=0X300,11,0X304,5 (as the io and irq pairs). Installation of both the mcd mcdx fail, messages say 'device or resource busy.' However, if I just choose plain cdrom, this installation is successful and after installation I can access the CDROM ok. Noting that SCSI zip irq's are preset to irq 11, I changed the IRQ on the zip, then tried to go through again with the installation but this also didn't work. I have tried putting a zip disk into the zip drive to see if that helps detection but I still get 0 scsi hosts detected. Are there any other steps in the installation where I need to make sure there is SCSI support? i.e. in configuring device modules, am I supposed to use one of those four controllers? or, install PPA? I didn't think I needed PPA since it is not a parallel Zip drive. Is my only option to build a new kernel? If you can cc'me I would appreciate it.

SOLVED: Epson Stylus Color 600 Printing
The general message is: if you are new to unix, watch out for line continuation characters (I know I read something describing them that way somewhere, and mayby in certain types of config files they are, but...). They are really escape characters that refer specifically to the newline THAT MUST FOLLOW THEM IMMEDIATELY. ie if there is a white space character (or any other character for that matter) after the escape character and before the newline, the newline won't get escaped. This may in some cases cause you all sorts of subtle problems that seem certain to be due to something else. At least so the reaction of magicfilter seemed to me, which is I guess the only thing that makes this message in any way relevant to the subject printer ghostscript. Anthony Fok has been extremely helpful, sending copies of his /etc/printcap and magicfilter filter files (which I cut and paste producing the above error).

problem with leafnode and gnus
Hello all,
I'm having trouble setting up leafnode to read news.
I installed leafnode w/o problems, followed the configuration
described in the README and README.debian files, as well as an article
in Linux Gazette #9. This article told me to log into my news server,
run 'fetch' as root, start a news reader, subscribe to interesting
groups, run fetch again. This should do it, according to the article.
However, after subscribing to c.o.l.misc and c.o.l.advocacy with gnus,
I run fetch. It takes a long time. I check /var/spool/news, and see
lots of directories for alt, gnu, soc, and uk. I don't want this. I
abort. When I try to find something in the groups to which I've
subscribed -- bubkis, nada, The Big Empty. Gnus cannot even open the
groups. Netscape returns a pane with syntax error.
Any ideas?
I've set gnus to fetch mail from 'localhost', as per orders.
As far as I know, the news server I'm using is standard issue.
I can read the news sucked down with the command
find /var/spool/news/comp -name '[0-9]*' -exec cat {} \; | more
but I find this a little tiring...
