Under normal circumstances that should be /usr/include/linux which makes me wonder what's going wronge since module-assistant depends on libc6-dev which in turn depends on linux-kernel-headers.

Well it's quite late now for a package takeover and reintroduction for etch. When someone has picked up the package and uploaded a fixed version it should be easy to create a backport for etch.

It simply works. Why should I change the kernel if the hardware didn't change in the last six or seven years? New kernels for old hardware often means that drivers are unmaintained now and maybe broken because they're not ported to some current changes in the kernel.

Volatile is for packages which have a constant flow of changes like clamav for example. The version of clamav shipped with Debian/sarge is unable to work with the current signature format. Adding a new package to volatile requires that there is a reason to do so and kind of strong QA you've to pass. Uploading a package to backports.org only requires that the package is in Debian/testing and that you've repackaged it as a backport (lowering the version number and a few other things). Ok you need to find a sponsor for your package when you're not a DD with yout gpg key in the keyring but that's not a huge problem. So rule of thumb is that everything that can't hide long enough can be packaged for backports.org.

I donno what exactly you have as content but two ideas come to mind. 1) Remaster a live CD e.g. Knoppix so that it runs a webserver, *sql database etc. pp. so that you can make your CMS avaible throug it. Unusable for daily usage but a neat way for Demo CDs. 2) If it's only the search offline content part then try something like http://docsearcher.sourceforge.net/. The german LinuxMagazin used it for their "10 Years" collection DVD. It requires Java (that makes it portable) and works well.

Well pointing your favourite browser to www.proftpd.org and taking a look at the documentation is always I good start. Anyway please check in your proftpd.conf for the "ServerType" directive. It should have the value "inetd" for running via (x)inetd and "standalone" for the Proftpd standalone mode. Sven -- Du kannst mit Träumen nicht diskutieren, du kannst sie träumen oder verlieren.

They should start with 'deb-src' instead of 'deb'. If you've them in you can simply 'apt-get source cpio' and apt-get will download and unpack the source package for you.

If so, could you tell me how? I just got suspending to acpi state "disk" (which is also known as swsusp / pmdisk and now in migration to suspend2) working with Linux 2.6.12.6 and 2.6.14-git10. Short Howto: a) compile your kernel with CONFIG_PM=y # CONFIG_PM_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="/dev/hda5" # ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support CONFIG_ACPI=y CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_FS=y CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=y CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0 CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y (not all acpi stuff needed but usefull) b) Install the package "hibernate" (I installed the sid package on my sarge installation and recommend to do the same) c) configure hibernate to use the acpi "disk" sleep state (take a look at the configuration file in /etc/hibernate/) d) first try without X running (just execute /usr/sbin/hibernate as root) e) try the same with X f) create a sleep button event and configure it to execute hibernate (done via acpid) Happy suspending! Side notes1: You may want to try out the suspend2 patch from www.suspend2.net. The Wiki and FAQ is usefull anyway. Side notes2: I had problems to get it working with vanilla Linux 2.6.14 with and without the suspend2 patch. Side notes3: Best is to turn preempt and apic off. Side notes4: With Linux 2.6.13/14 pcmcia is not working here. See the other thread. Side notes5: Linux 2.6.12.6 with preempt and apic off seems to work quite good on my (old) Sony Vaio FX-202.

I've a similar problem here. I just upgraded my laptop from the default Debian/sarge 2.6.8 Kernel up to 2.6.14-git(8|9|10) (hey now at leasts swsusp works again). The pcmcia init script reports that there is no pcmcia driver and it's right there is no pcmcia entry in /proc/drivers. pcmcia_core, pcmcia and yenta_socket modules are loaded of course and don't produce any debug output (I added pccard debug to the kernel). Strange problem. Oh and if you experience problems with acpi batterie stats disable preempt for the moment as a workaround.

How do i open it ? or at least allow this traffic After reading the description for the package webcam I guess that webcam tries to upload to a default ftp server which might be localhost. So you can configure webcam to use a real server for the upload or use vgrabbj to capture a picture and then use a few scripts and lftp to upload via ftps to a remote ftp server.

Well Nemosoft stopped working on his driver but it's still avaible and working well with linux 2.4.x. Of course it's a little bit hand work to copy in all needed files. Anyway someone wrote a new, reverse engineered, driver. A friend told me that this driver works but I haven't tested it so far. > Budget is of course an issue.

I don't think that woody ships such an old compiler. 2.95 is default in woody. I suggest you to install a recent Linux Kernel, try www.backports.org packages.

Well I've no chance (and had no chance in the past) to build a test enviroment. A mail server with about 10.000 mails per hour would be a good thing. Then you setup a two stage scanning system. First stage will be a scan with clamav passing all mails tagged as virus free to the second stage with a commercial product of your choice. I guess a period of 3 month will give you some objective results about how good or bad clamav really is compared to the tested commercial product. Who has the chance to build such a test enviroment? Sven BTW: My first statement was meant a little bit ironic cause of the non-free software sucks by default statement.

Source CDs contain the source packages of the binary packages distributed on the binary CDs. In short it's the source code of the software. I advice you to read through the GPL and other licences cause some force you to distribute the source code along with the binary stuff.

The source is avaible to keep it free as in free speech not to install the packages. You should read through the licences under which the software is licenced to you that you're distributing.

Some awk/sed/perl/python magic to extract the hashes from the old passwd and to add it to the new passwd file. Shouldn't be too hard but you need to take care of the uid. So I would readd the user on the new Linux system with the same uid or the same user name like they had on the SunOS system and then merge the password hashes into the shadow file.

Hm create a bin/cue image and burn with cdrdao is the only thing to do so I hope their is no problem with this.

Try out ffmpeg or transcode. (transcode is hell but I guess their are gui frontends avaible) I personaly prefer ffmpeg but the quality of avi->mpeg conversion is bad if you ask me. When you've the mpeg file you can create a bin/cue image with vcdimager. ffmpeg is avaible from Christian Marillat deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main vcdimager is in main In some cases it's better to compile a cvs checkout from ffmpeg with the latest improvements.

Read about pinning man 5 apt_preferences You need somthing like this (untested) in your /etc/apt/preferences Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1001 Then apt-get update with the right entries in your sources.list and apt-get dist-upgrade it. Have fun while digging through various problems. Another way (maybe better) might be just to revert the sources.list to testing and then stick with it and wait until new packages pop up in unstable and later in testing. This will take some time to get you back to testing.

Proftpd can do ftps if you use the mod_ssl. You can read man sftp to get rough look at what sftp is. In short it is a subsystem for OpenSSH [1] that provides a ftp like interface using the sshd from openssh to transfer the files in a safe way.

I guess you used sid before where the amule package is avaible. Now you're using sarge where amule is (not yet) avaible.
