Hi,
Well, I'm getting ready to install Debian
for the first time and would like to get
the groups opinion on a book I'm going

Debian GNU/Linux Bible and was published
this year. I plan on using the CD to do my
install.
Thanks.

Hi,
Well, I'm getting ready to install Debian
for the first time and would like to get
the groups opinion on a book I'm going
to purchase. The book's title is
Debian GNU/Linux Bible and was published
this year. I plan on using the CD to do my
install.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
When I execute 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade', nothing seems
to happen. apt-get reports back that the packages are up-to-date. I

This will watch the related packets (ie- ftp ftp-data) as well as the

Hi,
This is a sort of followup to the lilo-related problems I was having some
days ago.
Adding the linear option to my /etc/lilo.conf didn't effect a fix: I
still got the cascade of LI down the screen when I tried to boot up. SO:
I uninstalled the lilo pkg, dpkg --purged it, and tried to

I've recently tried to update my system from 2.2r2 to testing, and now my

For some reason, apt doesn't want to upgrade libc6
Is there a way to force apt-get to install downgraded
