Re: package manager question

Is there other package managers for debian that are able to support it? I've found this at www.debian.org As you can see in the above example, APT also takes care of removing packages which depend on the package you have asked to remove. There is no way to remove a package using APT without also removing those packages that depend on it.. I hope this only matters to apt. :S Thanks. You can use dpkg for this scenario. For example if you want to remove exim without removing mailx, or the exim daemonsCaution as the below command will cause major issues with not properly addressed and is only for an example. # dpkg --ignore-depends=exim4 -r exim4 Regards, Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

net install disk loses nic drivers
Hello! I've been using the net install disk -- the 30mb iso image to boot up and download all files needed for the debian install. During the install, everything is great. After the first reboot during the installation, the nic drivers/modules do not load. This is happening with sarge and sid, various 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. Any ideas how to correct this other than keeping a copy of the driver on disk for the install? Thanks! Christopher Davis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

chroot ssh logins
Hello! I have found a few how-to's on the net for creating user jails with ftp so users cannot browse outside of their home directories. That's what I am looking to do, but with ssh when the user logs in. Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA!

But, setting up a user-mode-linux install would provide similar functionality, with the added bonus that it appears a totally seperate host to the outside world. You can then either have ports 20 and 21 forwarded from your real host to the UML host, or you can give the uml host its own IP on your network. -Roberto That's a great idea. Can apache read documents inside a UML or would I need to install apache inside the UML as well? I am running a server with multiple websites, now I am opening it up to a few external clients. I want them to be able to modify their site w/o being able to move above their home directory so they are not able to view other sites hosted from the servers. Only remote access to the servers is through ssh2. Thanks again! Christopher Davis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FW: Mondo and Debian
I was hoping to gather some input on using Mondo Rescue on Debian from the Debian users list as well. Please see below for message posted to the mondo devel list. Thank you!

Chris, I'm sorry but the latest stable branch of Mondo is 1.6x. You're using a version of Mondo which is almost 18 months old. Are you sure you want to be doing that? -Hugo [...] I definitely do not want to use the outdated version if I can keep from it. From the support page at mondorescue.org, there are notes Debian 3.0 with Mondo 1.7x, Mindi 0.9x -- that is what I originally tried, have not even tried 1.6x due to that note. I will try the 1.6x TGZ and repost an update. [...] I have tried again using the debs from packages.debian.org for unstable to install Mondo. Currently have had to most progress with these -- Everything backs up to the iso. I just cant run any of the commands from the boot disk -- nuke/interactive/etc. All boot and drop to the command prompt.

Are there specific versions of the compilers I should use to compile these? I have tried to compile the packages with basic stable versions from packages.debian.org -- I have not yet attempted the unstable versions. I have also attempted to use alien to switch from rpm to deb. No luck... I am using Debian 3.0 (Woody) and the bf24 installation for the 2.4 kernel. Only changes to the default install is switching from lilo to grub and adding the daemontools-install package with it's deps. TIA for any suggestions!

Check out the mondo stuff in sarge or sid, works a lot better. :) [...] Working on this again...I've found Mindi/Mondo in the unstable packages.

Recovery Solutions
Hello all! I am working on migrating from Red Hat to Debian. I have been using Mondo/Mindi -- mondorescue.org -- to handle creating bootable self restore cd's.
