Re: (no subject)
I didn't take this as an attack in any way, but you should realize why a great many of us run Debian systems... Polish, as you put it, isn't on top of the priority list. Neither is snazz(iness) out of the box. If we want polish and snazzy, we know where to find it. If: good = snazzy, cute logos, and a nice (a la Windows) GUI install And: bad = a no-frills, fast, clean, stable out-of-the-box OS suitable for running in a production environment Then: You're right... Debian is not for you. Mark On the up side though,debian seem to run faster and cleaner than anything Ive used so far,and perhaps when the polish is applied and it looks a little snazzier out of the box,I'll come back,but until then I'll have to just say no thanks.Maybe some people out there will take this as the constructive criticism its meant as and point it in the right direction,and more likely some people will take this as an attack that its not. All Im saying is that until its more idiot firendly,Ill have to take a pass,because IMO the bad outwieghs the good. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

telling apt to ignore and continue
Hi, Majordomo was removed from the official distributions, but I needed it. It was automatically removed when I used apt-get dist-upgrade. So, I forced dpkg to add it manually. Now, when I try to apt-get upgrade my system, it won't continue because Majordomo is installed, and has unmet dependencies. Actually, it depends on perl, and for some reason it doesn't recognize my existing perl as being valid. Whatever. My question is... how can I tell apt-get to just ignore this majordomo package and never tell me about it again? Thanks, Mark

sendmail 8.9.2 Verisign
Hello: Has anyone else noticed this little problem I upgraded my sendmail (8.9.2 from frozen), and now our Verisign Digital Signatures don't work. Well, they kind of don't. Here's the deal: If I simply sign an email without an attachment, the signature arrives valid. If I sign AND encrypt an email without an attachment, the signature arrives valid. If I sign AND encrypt an email WITH an attachment, the signature arrives valid. If I sign an email WITH an attachment, the signature arrives INVALID. So, the only thing that appears to be a problem is a signed message, with an attachment. Strange. Is there some new feature I'm not aware of? I have verified this is not a POP/IMAP problem. Everything worked fine under 8.8, and I just tested against another box running 8.8. Everything's good so it's gotta be post-8.8 sendmail doing something funky. Any help would sure be appreciated.

Recreating Installed Package Lists
Hi: I did a stupid thing... I accidently blew away a bunch of stuff in /var/lib/dpkg I didn't think things were working correctly, and I wanted a fresh start with dselect. Obviously, I know better now, and I just restored from tape. This does pose an interesting question, though. Is it possible to re-create which packages and versions are on a system, so dselect doesn't complain about dependencies? For example, before I restored from tape, I tried to install package X. X depends on Perl, which dselect said I didn't have. Well, I do, but not to its knowledge Is this info stored anywhere else besides /var/lib/dpkg that i could have recreated from?

There should be very few packages you need to do this for. Is this plain Debian 1.3.1? Well, it was.

kernel source?
Hello: Forive me if this a newbie question, but I can't seem to find my question documented anywhere. I'm a long-time slackware user, and compile a new kernel with my eyes closed.

Afterwards, it shows that it was installed, but my /usr/src directory is still empty. #1 Where is this source? #2 Do I still compile using the make config like before? #3 If I just pull the kernel source via ftp, can I compile like before (slackware) or do I risk damaging any of Debian's package management features?
