The pipe driver is a built in driver for Exim. It should require no config file supports. Something else is wrong with your setup.

The total contents of your .forward under Exim should be:
"| /usr/bin/procmail -f-"
Even better is to get rid of the .forward and have Exim recognise
that you are using procmail as an LDA by inserting the following
director and transport in exim.conf:
The director:
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail"
user = ${local_part}
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
from_hack
The transport:
procmail:
driver = localuser
require_files = ${local_part}:${home}/.procmailrc
transport = procmail_pipe
Voila! Exim will see that you have a .procmailrc in your $HOME and
automagically invoke procmail as an LDA.

A more elegant way of running procmail under Exim as an LDA is to
install the following transport and director in /etc/exim.conf:
The director:
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail"

It can, and the default potato install runs it that way, but it need not and I would recommend running it aw as a daemon if you have any sort of noticable mail load.

Re: Can't boot from hard disk--solved
My booting problem has been solved. In case anyone else has a similar problem, here is what was wrong, how I fixed things, and what I would do differently if I were to start over again. To recap, the problem was that after installing slink, I could boot from the boot floppy, but not from the hard disk. When trying to boot from the hard disk, the system would hang just after the "Loading Linux" message. The source of the problem is that slink uses, by default, a kernel stored as a "bzimage." A perusal of the mailing list archives and other Debian documentation shows that this format is known to be problematic for certain machines. The case that is sited most often is the IBM Tecra laptop, so the problem is often referred to as the "tecra problem." Since I wasn't installing on a laptop of any kind, I initially didn't pay much attention to the discussions of the tecra problem. Later, as I got more desperate, I read it more carefully and decided that since my system was hanging up at the stage where the kernel is being uncompressed, this _was_ the likely source of the problem. To solve the problem, I booted from the floppy, ungzipped and untarred the kernel source directory, configured the kernel, and remade the kernel as a "zimage" rather than a bzimage. After reinstalling the newly-made kernel and modules in the appropriate places (and rerunning lilo just to be sure), the system booted perfectly from the hard drive. Two days of frustration eliminated! Two more things that might be of interest: There is a tecra-specific version of slink that comes on its own cdrom. Before recompiling the kernel, I tried to install the tecra version on a second hard disk, but it wouldn't install. The software couldn't find the kernel image file on the cd, even though it was right where it was supposed to be. I'll have to file a bug report on that. After I got things working, I went into the BIOS to change the boot order back to "C,A" and saw an interesting setting that allows me to change the behavior of the A20 gate. The default for my machine is to have this setting at "Fast," but it can be changed to "Normal." Since the tecra problem has something to do with the A20 gate, I suspect that if I had changed this setting to "Normal" before installing, everything would have been fine. As I now have a working system, I have no desire to test this theory; but if I were to reinstall from scratch again, the first thing I would do is change this setting. -- Mark Lawrence [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I've already tried that, and have just tried it again to be sure. I get to the same spot, just after "Loading Linux...", (sometimes "Loading Linux...L") and it hangs. For what it's worth, when I've tried boot=/dev/hda before, I'd some times get to a message on the next line (I think it was "uncompressing kernel", can't reproduce it now) before failure.

Can't boot from hard disk
Just installed 2.1 (slink) from cdrom. Boots from floppy OK, but hangs after "Loading Linux." The machine is a Pentium 200 with 96 MB of RAM.

Apps For Debian?
As I am a new user of Debian I have a couiple of Questions as to what apps to get . I am not a couplete newbie but am still very new ( I know how to use gzip and tar and can do most basic functions of a *nix system) Here is my dilema after searching though several different dists I have come to the conclusion that debian wins. Now I have a minimally configured box running WindowMaker and I need to find Replacement apps for my windows junk. Specificaly a Word Replacement ( I tried WordPerfect but the install blew up at the end) There doesn't seen to be a .deb package available for it for some reason in spike of the aliance between debian and corel (same is true for KDE but i like WindowMaker better anyway). Any Ideas? Also need something that will make .gifs (Gimp doesn't seem to do this) I need a good HTML code editor for debian (Been thinking I may just program macros in emacs but I don't realy want to) On a side note I will be needing a Database to connect a website to fairly soon. Any suggestions (I am leaning towards mySQL but I would like a GUI interface to work in if possiable) P.S on a happy note I got Netscape to work Finaly! and TinTin++ rocks (please include it in a furture debian release. They are working on it again finally and I would love to be able to apt-get it as they improve it. Version 2 coming soom:)

RE: Setting up FTP
There is a file to edit /etc/proftpd.conf. There are many many options take, a look at www.proftp.org for the docs. My main issue was chroot (Not letting real users get above a specific directory.)

I am not sure that's always true; try looking at addgroup in redhat and addgroup in debian. Or the different choices UID's, or file placement.

Re: ASUS SC875 and debian 1.3.1 install problems
This might be a kernel thing; last time I installed Debian on a box with the 875 I had to compile a kernel with newer drivers, grab the Debian- HOWTO install for instructions, and compile a newer kernel for this box, and go for it. The 875 is a great card. Bonnie ( a benchmark program ) has given me some of my best test scores with the 875 and U/W HD... over 16 megs a second on one.

Both cards use WRAM. Millenium II uses 250Mhz RAMDAC and Revolution 3D uses 220Mhz, if you have a high end monitor, eg. Viewsonic 815, I don't think Revolution 3D can display 1600x1200 16-bit color at 85Hz refresh rate. If you plan to upgrade the on board memory, Millenium II is easier. Matrox sells 4MB, 8MB and 12MB modules while Number Nine sells 4MB and 8MB, therefore a 4MB Revolution 3D card can only be upgraded to 12MB at most. There is a mailing list for Matrox card users and it is more easy to get technical questions answered. I choose Millenium II anyway, even though Revolution 3D obtained the Byte 97 Comdex award. -- Lawrence Chim -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
