oddlu corrupted file during slink upgrade

Hamm beta upgrade to Slink

Howdy... I have a machine here running a beta of Hamm, probably from before Hamm was frozen. I'm trying to get apt going on this machine so that I can upgrade it to slink. I manually installed apt, libc6, libstdc++2.9 and such from slink and then resolved as many of the conflicts and such by han

Sorry to follow up on my own post. I did attach my XF86Config but I either screwed up, or something ate the second attachment to my previous message. Here's the config... PeeWee # ** # Files section. This allows default font an

X hates me after hardware upgrade

Clue required, please. I've never had XF86 give me an error like this one. I just completed transferring my existing hardware to a new case/motherboard. If it matters, I went from a P90 to a dual P133. I moved over the disks, RAM and boards - everything but the P90 motherboard. Everything works

bogus SYN flood?

Howdy... I came home to find my workstation thrashing - errors are appended to this message. Kerneld was consuming over 50meg of memory, so I bounced it, which seems to have cleared the problem up. Overmind is a P90, 2.0.32 and is fairly well synced with Hamm. Modutils is 2.1.55-4. Current upt

I'd like to upgrade to unstable, following the howto, but I can't seem to find the package ncurses3.0_1.9.9e-2. The latest rev I can find is ncurses3.0_1.9.9e-1, which is what's already installed on my system. Where can I find -2? Thanks! Jason -- "Learn to knit for all I care, but find someth

alien problem (bo)

Howdy... Awhile back, I bought RedHat Motif when I thought that I'd be running their distribution. Well, I discovered that I liked Debian better and that alien, as shipped with Debian 1.2 would install the motif RPMs. I've since upgraded my installation by hand to 1.3 (without using deselect) an
