You didn't say what the bug report was about. There's a lot of bugs of course but I cannot believe you would have a problem with the latest Debian installer: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ Download an .iso of the 'netinst' (net install) and burn a CD. This will boot assuming you have the CD option set to boot before the HD in your computer's BIOS. You can leave everything to the installer. After the Debian install, you will have a duel boot system. The installer mess with the NTFS partition. (caveat) you must have enough 'free space' on your HD for the installer to do this for you. If XP has taken up the whole HD with the C drive, I would suggest first boot up with a live CD that contains the very useful program GParted. From that vantage point you can see and reduce the size of the displayed NTFS file system and be able to reduce this to its minimal requirements. After that operation boot the Debian installer, install a 'basic' Debian system, select the Grub2 boot manager and on the reboot you will see windows XP as on option for the duel boot you require. This menu is first thing you will see after the computer posts. You must have an oldish computer, so you will probably want the i386 .iso image. I hope you have a suitable CPU and modern amounts of memory. Debian won't bog you down like MS but it is a modern lively system so faster is better. As far as recovery goes, I use a non-free imaging program that runs off a CD. terabyteunlimited.com/index.htm The CUI version of of their image for Linux will easily make an recoverable image of both the NTSF and Linux file systems respectively. You don't want to waste your money on their GUI versions of image for windows and the like. The IFL CUI version does it all, and runs off the ifl.iso image on the CD. It's money well spent. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

That is not fun. If all that happened was grub getting messed up, you could likely have been able to recover by using an xp install cd, or I seem to recall xp can create a recovery cd, but I can't recall that for sure. Alternatively, the debian installation guide describes how to boot into rescue mode. You could also likely have done that, and fixed grub from there. Anyway, why not try out debian in a virtual machine such as VirtualBox: http://www.virtualbox.org Then once you're comfortable with debian and you want to dump windows, you can install on bare hardware.

Hi, I'm very new to Debian and deb packages.

PHP says that in order to have mcrypt work with PHP5, you have to compile PHP5 with --with-mcrypt.

Hi PartyPeople, got a short question, I'm testing a script, which I'd like to use with Debian. I set up a new Woody 3.0 system for this (just base install incl. c(++) through tasksel)... The script reoprts back an error message, I guess it's just because there are some libraries missing, but which ones? The package search was my first guess, but unfortunately it's down :-/ (is there a backup for it?) Any suggestions what the package might be called?

online references to my email address.
The problems:
- Mail sent *from* me *to* several mailing lists, and echoed to me
from the list, is classified as local outgoing mail, and isn't
filtered to the appropriate list folder. This occurs only for
certain lists. debian-user, for example, works fine. The lsec
list, as an example, doesn't. Instead, the mail is appended to the
auto-generated greylist. I believe this is governed by the mainline
script, I'm attaching my local copy.
Indeed it was. Several problems.
First, my ~/.procmailrc was referencing the *system*, not *local*,
mainline script. Modifying the following line toward the end of
~/.procmailrc:
INCLUDERC=/usr/lib/spamfilter/rules/mainline
to
INCLUDERC=$PM_RULES/mainline
...insures that modifications to the mainline file do take effect. I'd
copied mainline to ~/.procmail/rules/ to make local modifications.
The second issue was the set of headers being used to detect list mail.
The following set of rules in 'mainline' needs to have one additional
header added to it to match several commonly used lists:
| #
| #
| # See if this mail is _from_ me, and if so, use it to update the greylist
| #
| :0
| * $ ^Received:.*from.*$MYHOST
| * $ ^Message-ID:.*$MYHOST
| * $ ^From:.*$MYADDR
| * ! ^Resent-From:
| * ! ^X-Loop:
| * ! ^X-Mailing-List:
| * ! ^X-Been-There:
| {
Add:
* ! ^X-BeenThere:
...which is inserted by several list management software packages.
- Non-blacklist spam. Mail which is identified as being spam w/o
being listed in my blacklist appears to get /dev/null'ed. I'd
rather it went to a spam folder. I believe this is goverened by the
spam.rules script.
Though I haven't made the change yet, this is where the 'c' procmail
rule flag comes into play. Create a carbon-copy of the mail for the
purposes of replying to spam, then file the original message to some
spam folder. Preliminary tests suggest this is what I want.
- Debugging procmail filters isdifficult. My understanding is
that I should be able to take a message, say, dumped to the backup
directory, and run it through procmail with:
$ cat message | procmail procmailrc-file
...which will filter one message 'message' through procmail using
the procmail rc file 'procmailrc-file'. But it don't seem to work
for me. Clue?
Setting the VERBOSE=yes variable helps. Diagnostics are printed to
stdout.
On another note, my ISP disabled my account for a 24 hour period due to
an autoresponder war I'd managed to get into with a third-party ISP's
abuse@ address. Their abuse message:
1. Came from a non-recognized address.
2. Tripped two 'likely spam' keywords, include remove and
commercial *mail.
3. On account of prior issues, I'd removed the 'spam-reply.txt'
file, so my responses were
After exchanging some 353 messages in a 24 hour period, the other party
blacklisted my ISP for email. My ISP killed my account as part of its
abuse response ten days later (I've had words, and received a grand
total of $0.70 pro rata reimbursement for the downtime g).
I've recommended to Brian White, and he's added to the default
whitelist, the following general response accounts:
# Useful addresses to keep open
postmaster@
abuse@

Hello Stephen, I am trying to install packages from a floppy/s using dselect but keep getting the messages: /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mount/packages/ does not exist can any give me some advice on this? In the dselect main menu, choose 0. Access and select the floppy method. Then you'll need to 1. Update to get the Packages file off the floppy. In general, you need to choose the options in the main menu of dselect in numerical order from the top... this isn't obvious from the interface. or just general advice on installation (x window etc) When you get to selecting packages, the Enter key confirms the whole list and exits (yes, press the Enter key to Exit). To select the package you have the cursor on, you need to press the + key. The other useful key to know: when you press + on something and it pops up with suggestions you don't like, press R (upper-case) to get it back to the way it was before you pressed the +. Then you can either make different selections, or just press Enter to confirm and return to the main list. HTH Jiri [EMAIL PROTECTED]
