arrrgh! dependencies!
Hello, I want to setup a cross-compiler, following this tutorial... http://wiki.debian.org/BuildingCrossCompilers ...but since I'm on a dial-up connection, I would be waiting until Christmas for steps such as sudo apt-get build-dep binutils gcc-4.1 to finish. I usually mark changes with the Synaptic Package Manager, generate a download script, and give it to my father to run at work (I don't do this often). But I can't do that for... unorthodox installations like what I'll need for setting up a cross-compiler. How can I get a list of the the URLs for all the packages apt-get needs to install (if I give arguments)? Thanks, Aidan
Re: OS for RAID1
A posting on wellylug the other day appears to provide a solution to what I was ultimately looking to accomplish. It is via all packages installed rather than simply what's been installed since distro install: dpkg --get-selections dpkg-selections dpkg --set-selections dpkg-selections apt-get -u dselect-upgrade Cheers, Roger Nick Rout wrote: On Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 4:03 PM, Roger Searle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes that sort of helps though gives me far more than actually I wanted, which I suspected would be a response so I'll rephrase my question in the way I nearly did earlier. Following performing some ubuntu installation where a pre-defined set of packages is installed for me, I then want to add a bunch of other stuff, most of which I'd do via sudo apt-get install programme1 programme2 etc on a few occasions. I would then be told I'd need a bigger bunch of dependencies, type y and away it would go. I'm looking for a listing of programme1, programme2 etc. Roger AFAIK apt-get does not keep such a record, whereas aptitude does.

Quoting Christopher Sawtell [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 2008/11/10 Steve Holdoway [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Can anyone tell me which range the ip addresses are allocated from at st. albans? I'm really hoping it's not from 10.0.0.0/8 iirc, I believe that I do remember correctly, a range within 192.168.1.1 That's what I remember.

Re: CLUG meeting
Roger, Sorry I don't think that I will be getting there early. I find 7:30 difficult enough as it is. In my experience, everybody is usually happy to chat while we spend a little time futzing around getting the technology going. It's in the nature of these things that people stand around in a circle pointing out mistakes and better ways of doing things to the person actually doing it. (things like: you missed a spot and that old favourite: you're not going to do it like that?) So I have no intention of disturbing the Indian Children's Dance Group.

I'm really hoping it's not from 10.0.0.0/8 iirc, I believe that I do remember correctly, a range within 192.168.1.1 One of the most irritating things about an existing network is when they've used 192.168.[01].0/24 or 10.0.0.0/8 Please - if you're laying out a network, use a /24 in the 10.random.random range, or 172.16-31.random, or even 192.168.something-larger-than-10. Don't assume this network will never be connected to anything except a default gateway because it might not. -- Craig Falconer

Thanks, Aidan sudo apt-get install --print-uris packages Or consider using apt-zip-* (the apt-zip package). I have not actually used it, but apparently you run apt-zip-list on your offline machine to generate a script that runs on the online machine. This script downloads the necessary packages which you bring home on a USB stick (or a ZIP disk, hence the name). You then run apt-zip-inst on the offline machine to install the packages; it uses a script that was generated when you first ran apt-zip-list.
