Hi debs
When trying to fetch and compile the latest sources of leafnode, the
following happens:
debian:~# apt-get -b source leafnode
[snipped]
dh_testroot
rm -f build-stampmake -i realclean

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `realclean'.

My /etc/logrotate.conf looks as follows: (shortened - sorry for it being
so long)

Hi all
I have just run update upgrade and am right now dl / upgrading 5megs
worth of stuff. What I would like to see though is that apt-get shows

Hi debs
I've been booting this system with a boot floppy for some time now. Say

Anyone had experience with the package boot-floppies?
TIA

If I run rsync and there is a a new folder / file on the sending side,
rsync tries to remove that very folder on the receiving side for some
weird reason. This makes no sense to me. If I don't use --delete, this
doesn't occur, but instead files that don't exist on the sending side
anymore,
