imp
Does anybody have problems with IMP and mysql?
it gives me problems with mysql-server3.23.21-2
but I don't have those errors with mysql-server3.22.30-2 for example.
Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong with it?
Here is a sample error:

I undestand the error, I just don't know why it works with older versions of
mysqld and not with the latest ones.

IP for ppp is assigned by your ISP pppd server, you cannot do anything localy. You have to contact your ISP and ask for static IP, if they provide this kind of service.

Re: Can XF86_SVGA do 1280x1024?

add, one
per line.
for i in $(cat users.txt) ; do pwd=$(makepasswd) ; echo $i $pwd
userpass.txt ;

That should do it. (See, you had to user perl after all.) Mind you the above
is all
one line, you'll have to fix the breaks inserted by my mail-reader and yours.
Good
practice dictates you save your /etc/passwd file before completing the above.
Also,
the above assumes you are not using shadow passwords. In any case the above
should be
adaptable to shadow passwords too if you can see what I'm doing.

Re: hi i got a question
You probably made mistake configuring your nameservers.

Re: debian
You can download boot floppies and base system. If you install base you can connect to the internet and use dselect to mark the packages you want to install. Dselect will automaticaly download and install them.

From what I understand, you don't have a proper dns setup. Check out /etc/resolv.conf. resolv.conf: search domain.com nameserver your_primary_dns_server_IP nameserver your_secondary_dns_server_IP If you want to install potato, make your /etc/apt/sources.list look like this: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/ unstable non-US/main or use any of the debian mirrors ... and you just need 7 floppies to install base system, apt-get/dselect does the rest.

Re: AWE64 Problems
You dont need to use isapnp to initialize AWE64. Just turn off pnp support in BIOS, and if you compile the support for it into kernel use values: * OSS sound modules (NEW) [...] * 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support (NEW) (5) Sound Blaster IRQ Check from manual of the card (NEW) (1) Sound Blaster DMA 0, 1 or 3 (NEW) (5) Sound Blaster 16 bit DMA (SB16, Jazz16, SMW) 5, 6 or 7 (use 1 for 8 ...

I have re-compiled my kernal (2.0.36) to include the appropriate sound support, and I have also set up the pnptools (via pnpdump) to initialise the card at boot. The problem seems to be that the initialisation of the card (via PnP) takes place after the sound support from the kernal has loaded. What I get at boot is the message that sound support is being initialised, but no cards are picked up in the kernal drivers. Later on in the boot process, the PnP tools initialise the card with no errors. I would like to hear from anyone who has has experience with getting the AWE64 working under Debian as I don't know what to do next - the only other option is to boot DOS and load the DOS drivers, then boot Debian.
