You are actually asking on the wrong mailinglist. Please direct your questions at debian-user@lists.debian.org, debian-project is about the further development of the Debian project itself rather than technical issues with the use of Debian on your machines. However, to address your problem, I don't really understand your problem. Are you using Debian on the routers you talked about or on the machines connected to the given LAN? If the later is the case, you only have to check which providers are supported by the router you intend to move. If your question is about routers running Debian, there would be some details needed to actually answer your question: How do the two routers involved connect to each other? Do they have a common network on the "outside" of their respective LANs? If not: Do they connect using some VPN technique like OpenVPN or IPSec? Do they have a static IP each, or does at least one have a dynamic IP? Regards, Sven signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: dpkg / apt equivalent to 'rpm -qf'?

Those scripts could remove the files they don't use. Oh well, and if a debian user would create those files anew (but uses them for a different thing), dpkg would happily remove them when a package which could create them is removed or purged. No thanks ;-) Also, there are a few scripts around which check wether the files on a system still match those in the installed packages, which would fail on these, too. I think the only way is to really create a way for maintainer scripts to (de)register files with dpkg on the fly. Ideally, this could be a registration for files that are removed when the package is removed or files that are removed on purge only. cu, sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
