Esto tipo de leyes son un avance en la prevencin y asistencia de los que padecen de esta problemtica similares a las que existen en los EE.UU. y Europa. PROGRAMA DE PREVENCION DE LA DROGADEPENDENCIA EN AMBITOS LABORALES En 1990 la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas ( O.N.U.) crea el Programa para la Fiscalizacin Internacional de Drogas ( PNUFID) para coordinar e implementar estrategia contra la produccin, trfico y consumo de drogas. En 1991 comienza con el programa: Proyecto de Prevencin al Uso de Drogas en el Trabajo y en La Familia ¨ , siendo implementado, de acuerdo a realidades locales, en pases como Mxico, Egipto, Polonia, Sri Lanka y Namibia con un universo de 730.000 trabajadores con un xito que anim a aceptar este programa y tecnologa, creado por el Dr. Sverre Fauske- Universidad de Bergen - Noruega, a otros pases. En el ao 1996, en el Estado de Ro Grande do Sul Brasil, 39 empresas con mas de 45.000 trabajadores, aplicaron este programa adoptado por SESI ( Servicio Social de la Industria Brasilea) con total eficacia no solo en el mejoramineto de la calidad ! de vida del empleado sino tambin una importante reduccin en los ndices de ausentismo, llegadas tarde, accidentes laborales, hurtos dentro de las empresas y manejo del stress. Actualmente la PNUFID, ante el xito obtenido, decidi extender el traspaso de su tecnologa a los pases integrantes del MERCOSUR, suscribiendo un acuerdo con FUNDACION MANANTIALES El da 4 de diciembre de 1998, en la ciudad de Porto Alegre , Brasil, la de FUNDACION MANANTIALES suscribi el acta de acuerdo final con ambos Organismos Internacionales, el Servicio Social de la Industria Brasilea (SESI) y la Organizacin de las Naciones Unidas ( PNUFID), con el fin de implementar en la Repblica Argentina y la Repblica Oriental del Uruguay la tecnologa y programa de prevencin mencionado. El da 16 de marzo de 1999 se realizo en el auditorio del Diario "La Nacin" el lanzamiento formal, de tan importante Programa en la Repblica Argentina, donde se present el Programa, sus alcances, objetivos y resultados, dentro del marco de una nutrida concurrencia de autoridades nacionales, dirigentes de empresas y sindicatos, organizaciones no gubernamentales y representantes de organismos internacionales. COMO PREVENIR LA DROGA EN LA FAMILIA Todos sabemos que en la actualidad existe en nuestro pas y todo el mundo un grave problema: la drogadiccin. A muchos de nosotros nos preocupa la forma en que el mismo pueda afectar a nuestras familias. Como padres deseamos lo mejor para nuestros hijos: que crezcan sanos, felices y bien preparados para enfrentar los desafos del futuro. Pero muchas veces no sentimos impotentes para proteger a nuestra familia de la amenaza de la droga. Formar una familia, criar y educar a nuestros hijos es , sin lugar a duda, una de las tareas mas importantes y trascendentes que una persona puede desempear durante la vida , pero para las cual existe menos preparacin formal. La mayora de nosotros aprendemos a ser padres solamente a travs de la experiencia y siguiendo el ejemplo que nos dieron nuestros padres, aunque algunos padres hagan justamente lo contrario, si no estn de acuerdo con la educacin recibida. En la actualidad, el uso difundido de las drogas somete a nuestras familias a presiones desconocidas hace tres o cuatro dcadas Es importante que los padres de familias nos preparemos para hacer frente a este problema desde el seno de nuestro hogar. Las familias han cambiado, hace tiempo atrs las relaciones entre padres e hijos eran muy rgidas y en estas no haba espacio para la libre iniciativa y la creatividad. Los hijos

Lo que pasa es que en ese caso es mejor definir el 'procmail' como

Problemas con dselect
Hola, El dselect se está comportando de un modo un tanto extraño. Hace unos días instale una nueva versión de libc6. Al ver que algunos programas que tenía no funcionaban con esta versión la borré y reinstalé la antigua. El problema es que ahora dselect, cada vez que intento seleccionar un paquete para instalar, me da una lista enorme de paquetes que dependen de libc6. Todos estos paquetes están ya instalados y funcionan sin problemas. Incluso la libc6 está instalada y también aparece en esta lista. Hay alguna forma de decirle al dselect que reconstruya la lista de paquetes instalados y sus dependencias? Un saludo, P.D. Esto es lo que aparece en dselect --- *** Std net telnetd *** Opt graphics libjpeg62 *** Opt graphics mesag3 *** Req base libc6The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files). *** Req base libreadlineg GNU readline and history libraries, run-time libr *** Req base procps The /proc file system utilities. *** Std net netstd Networking binaries and daemons for Linux *** Opt base psmisc Utilities that use the proc filesystem *** Opt graphics gimp The layers-based, non-Motif GNU Image Manipulatio *** Opt libs aalib1 ascii art library libc6installed; install (was: install).

Re: Bash Fuera
¿Como llegaste a esa conclusion? Tenes la pagina web del ash o algun site donde haya comparaciones entre shells? Vi la unix-faq/shell/shell-differences http://www.faqs.org pero el ash no estaba. Tengo instalado en mi sistema las dos. Y tengo usadas las dos. - La memoria: sólo hace falta hacer un 'ps' para ver que 'ash' ocupa la mitad de memoria (y como además trae la décima parte de documentación, ahorras espacio en el disco duro cosa buena). - La velocidad: hago un script y lo ejecuto con 'bash' y con 'ash'. 'ash' tarda como 2 segundos menos y usa menos CPU. La diferencia es muy pequeña, pero si es un script que se repite bastantes veces puedes ahorrar bastante. (Mediciones con GNU Time). - Es POSIX porque sí, lo pone la documentación y aparte yo no veo que incumpla ninguna norma POSIX. Existe algun site del ash?

Como ves que sea distribuido no tiene por que afectar a la velocidad. Lo que creo que pasa es que las X se han quedado un poco anticuadas frente a la vertiginosa evolucion de las tarjetas graficas de los ultimos años.

size of /var partition
This message was sent from Geocrawler.com by Howard Mann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Be sure to reply to that address. Hi All, I am planning an installation of Debian and solicit recommendations for the size of a separate /var logical partition. I plan to use apt-get to install packages and to upgrade my distribution when appropriate. In section 3.3 of the Debian FAQ, there is a recommendation for a /var of 100Mb. However, I have seen posts on this list from users who have reported failures in dist-upgrade because the associated space requirements are much larger. What would you recommend ? After creating a large /var partition, I plan to create a symbolic link between /tmp and /var/tmp. ( ln -s /tmp /var/tmp ) Is this O.K. ? Thanks, Howard Mann. Geocrawler.com - The Knowledge Archive

Potato upgrade
After a long battle with an upgrade to potato from a very customized slink am allmost happy. I just miss one thing: I cannot start gdm due to some wierd problem. It complains about the user and group for /var/gdm. Supposedly they should be nobody:deamon but that doesn't work either. In Slink it was root who owned everything regarding to gdm. Has that changed?

I had to go all over the place stamping out things like rwhod, rsh-server, rthisd and rthatd. i didn't have any trouble with this. dselect told me it was going to install all kinds of rpackages, so i put netstd on hold until i got around to making myself a fake package to fix it. That netstd package is a major security problem. I fail to see why it installs all that crap on installation OR on removal. I can understand a metapackage installing a bunch of things but 1. It should be clearly spelled out in the package description what new daemons have been added to the meta package and 2. that REMOVING the package will cause a bunch of stuff to be installed anyway. It installs all those rpackages because the old netstd package included all those. The maintainer decided to split netstd into components for each daemon, so we CAN remove the rpackages without removing every other standard daemon. Nothing was added to netstd, it's just that netstd went from being a package containing those rservices to a metapackage depending on the packages providing those same rservices. netstd won't install anything on removal, AFAIK. However, once its dependancies are marked for install, just removing netstd won't mark those for removal. r services should, in my personal opinion, never be part of a meta-package unless the meta package clearly shows this in its name ... something like rservices-std would be acceptable. If you look in slink, you'll see that all rservices are in the netstd _package_. Potato's netstd metapackage does nothing but depend on the packages containing the programs the netstd package used to contain. For now, the best solution is to install a fake package that provides netstd, and remove the netstd package itself. If you felt like it, you could download the sources for diald, correct the dependancy, and recompile.

Weird Routing/IP-Masquerading issue
orwell has two ethernet cards and serves as the router for my home network. eth0 connects to a cable modem with IP 24.x.x.x.x (assigned via DHCP). eth1 connects to the home network with ip 192.168.1.1. The routing works fine, and I never have any problems getting to the outside world from any of the other systems on the network...except for orwell. When I'm actually physically logged into orwell, I'm sometimes unable to establish TCP connections with the outside world. I just ran fetchmail on magellan (192.168.1.2) and it connected to my ISP's POP server fine. But, even as I speak, fetchmail on orwell is blocking on the connect() call because it cannot establish a TCP connection with the outside world. I'm totally bewildered. Twenty minutes from now, it could work fine. Instead of using the ipmasq package, I setup the network and some special IP-Masquerading hacks (for Napster, DirectX, and ICQ) through /etc/init.d/network, which I've attached. I also use portfw to forward orwell:81 to magellan:8080 to let others access my Zope server, but I don't think that that is an issue either. I'm running Debian potato and kernel 2.2.12 on orwell.

Re: fetchmail, exim and pine

I still have difficulty with email configurations. Although I can
send and receive mail, things are very basic. Would someone
kindly help me a little further along by explaining/answering:-
a. My .fetchmailrc contains 'warning 3600' at the end the basic
config. (i.e. poll pop..xxx with proto POP3user
there with password is here warning 3600)
b. I understand a .forward file (in my home directory) will enable
me to sort incoming mail. Can I create it in a text editor (say
pico or ee - my favourites) and are there any special rules
and examples.
At its simplest a .forward file contains one or more addresses, one
to a line; your mail is forwarded to each of them (instead of being
delivered to your local mailbox). Exim, procmail and various other
mail delivery/processing software allow you to place more complex
rules in there, to do all sorts of fancy sorting tricks; you should
refer to their documentation for the specifics on each one.
c. What are RFC 821 and RFC 822.
RFC 821 and RFC 822 are technical documents ('Requests for Comment')
that propose standards for (RFC 821) SMTP, the protocol used to transfer
mail from one host to another (also used by most internet client
mail programs for sending mail) and (RFC 822) the format of internet
mail messages. As an end-user you probably don't need to read them,
unless you're especially interested in the nitty-gritty of how these
things work, or want to find out (e.g.) exactly what you're allowed to
put in your from address. They are in the (15Mb) package 'doc-rfc'.
d. As a very inexperienced novice, I still find it best to study
the printed word. I don't have a printer attached to this
installation, so I use mtools and take text onto a floppy
for printing by another machine. Is there any easy way to
make man pages (e.g. 'exim.8.gz' after unzipping) capable
of being reproduced without the 'weird bits' which I don't
at present understand.
Man (via groff, which does the hard work) understands several output
formats; if you have access to a postscript printer you can create
a ready-for-printing copy of a man page by (e.g.)
man -Tps exim exim-man.ps
or, if you have an HP LaserJet 4 or other PCL5-compatible printer,
man -Tlj4 exim exim-man.lj4
This should produce a file that you can just copy to the printer
for neatly-formatted output. See man groff for a complete list of
output types, although they are the ones that you are most likely
to use.
You would print these files by copying them to the printer, with
e.g.
C copy a:exim-man.ps lpt1:
Check the name of the printer; it's been a long time since I did that...
If you're printing on a Mac there is no simple way of copying a
file directly to the printer; if your printer does postscript, you
can use the Download commands to the printer (?) menu item in
the LaserWriter utility to print a raw postscript file.
If the printer you are using doesn't do postscript or PCL but is supported
by magicfilter or apsfilter, you might want to consider installing
magicfilter/apsfilter and printing to a file; you could then use something
like
man -t exim | lpr
to format the man page ready for your printer, and then copy the file
that is created to the non-print-challenged PC.

Re: Newbie: slink-to-potato upgrade
On Sat, Nov 27, 1999 at 10:35:52PM +0100, Svante Signell wrote Hello, I recently installed slink on a new SCSI disk for my dual oc 450 MHz Celeron machine. (suse 6.2 is already on an IDE disk). Since I'm new to .deb-based systems I would like to ask a few questions: (I have been running RedHat since 5.0 up to 6.1 and rawhide, mandrake 6.1 and suse 6.2 on different machines, but all of them are rpm-based) I need to upgrade to a kernel supporting dual CPUs and also to XFree86-3.3.5 to get support for my TNT2-based graphics card. 1. What is the name of the kernel package: dpkg --list only gives kernel-headers and kernel-source. If you want a SMP kernel (or if you know what you're doing) it's best to build your own kernel, using the kernel-package package. That will create a .deb containing specifically the kernel you want, with excellent installation scripts that will ensure that everything goes smoothly. The procedure: - Install kernel-source-2.2.13*.deb and unpack the kernel source under /usr/src/linux, or get it from wherever you normally do; - cd /usr/src/linux; make menuconfig; make-kpkg kernel-image - dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.2.13*.deb This doesn't replace your existing kernel if it's a different kernel version, and it maintains a link to your 'immediate past kernel' at /vmlinuz.old so you can leave yourself a 'safe option' by including a stanza in /etc/lilo.conf to boot /vmlinuz.old. To build the kernel on x86 you need the make, gcc (that's 2.7.2, not egcs), binutils and bin86 packages; to do 'make menuconfig' you need libncurses4-dev and libc6-dev, and to do 'make xconfig' you need tk-dev (e.g., tk4.2-dev or tk8.0-dev). And kernel-package, of course. 2. Which command to use for kernel upgrade? If you use kernel-package just install the .deb, answer the questions and reboot. 3. Which tools to use, apt, dselect and/or dpkg? dpkg. 4. Which tool correspond to rpm and yast? Depends what you mean. Dpkg does low level package manipulation on individual .deb files, dselect apt do high-level package manipulation using package repositories and dependency checking. If you want to install .rpm'd software, alien builds .debs on-the-fly (but you have to be a little careful about differences in filesystem layout). 5. I installed the scientific workstation, thereby missing the install of eg. gnome. I want to run Windowmaker/Enlightenment and gnome. What to do? If you have apt installed, you can try something like this: apt-get install wmaker-gnome enlightenment gnome-session control-center which should drag in most of the binaries you need to start. The gnome in 'slink' is pretty old now, and later 'unofficial' package sets are around that give slink a more recent gnome suite; if you migrate to potato, that has more recent copies. Potato and most of the unofficial gnome sets have 'meta-packages' with names like task-gnome-network that simplify package selection by requiring reasonably complete, coherent suites of packages relevant to the role suggested by their name. I suggest that you look over the archives of this mailing list for posts pointing to these, and also to other unofficial and semi-official package repositories. These include package sets for October GNOME, XFree86 3.3.5 and so on. When you look at a package repository you can download and browse through the Packages.gz file that it includes to see what packages are there, what they rely on, and so on. 6. How can I get a comprehensive listing of the packages installed on my computer? dpkg -l | less 7. How can I easily get rid of the unwanted ones? dpkg --purge unwanted-package or dpkg -r unwanted-package (leaves config files behind, useful if you will be re-installing later) or apt-get install unwanted-package- (the trailing '-' says to uninstall it). Both dpkg --purfe, dpkg -r and apt-get install can handle multiple package names on the command line. 8. apt-get upgrade + apt-get dist-upgrade ends with some files not found. The suggested fix was to add --fix-missing. How can I update the missing parts or remove the no longer supported packages. Umm... pass. This may relate to the fact that Potato is being updated continuously, and at any one time the Packages file provided may not quite line up with what's available. Try again may be enough. 9. dselect interface and beginners guide are not informative enough to guide you to an upgrade easily. Agreed, but I think it is assumed that people upgrading already have enough debian experience to do OK. Maintenance of dselect seems to be a real problem; I haven't looked, but I understand that it isn't very clean or clear at the source level, and it is no longer maintained by its original author. While it clearly has its deficiencies, what it does it does well enough that people are reluctant to start tinkering with it. 10. dselect is confusing with its immediate help screen if something

questions about slink to potato upgrade
Last night I upgraded my fairly stock slink machine to potato using
apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade. I have various questions.
The last group of questions is about all the errors that occurred.
o Does potato contain all of the Y2K upgrades in slink and a half?
And all current security updates?
o I'm curious why 15 packages were kept back. How do I find out what
caused this? (The packages are: libmime-base64-perl fvwm eperl
libtime-hires-perl libpgperl eterm libcurses-pe rl
libterm-readkey-perl perlmagick mixviews kbd liblockdev0-perl pdl
libcompress- zlib-perl perl-tk.) Are they just old? Should I
remove them?
o I also downloaded, configured, compiled and installed kernel 2.2.13.
I found that I now have trouble accessing my pcmcia modem card.
Sometimes changing the irq with setserial fixes it, but sometimes it
doesn't. I've now turned off various other ports in the BIOS to
free up more irq's, but I still get irregular behaviour. Did
something change that could cause this?
o A lot of errors occurred during the upgrade, and I had to intervene
manually several times. Do these things represent bugs in apt,
dpkg, or some package control files? Here are a few examples:
- Throughout the upgrade I got the following messages:
ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libslang.so (No such file
or directory), skipping
ldconfig: warning: /usr/lib/libtcpwrapGK.so.1 is not a symlink
ldconfig: warning: /usr/lib/libomnithread.so.2 is not a symlink
ldconfig: warning: /usr/lib/libomniORB2.so.6 is not a symlink
ldconfig: warning: /usr/lib/libomniLC.so.2 is not a symlink
What do they mean?
- Throughout the upgrade I got the following message:
Cannot find termcap: Can't find a valid termcap file at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.004/Term/ReadLine.pm line 305
What does it mean?
- I also got this a lot:
dhelp_parse: You can add only directories under /usr/doc!
warning: error occured during execution of /usr/sbin/dhelp_parse
-a at /usr/sbin/install-docs line 241.
(For example, it occurred right after the line
Installing new version of config file /etc/imlib/imrc )
- The most annoying part was the following error, which stopped the
install:
install/dpkg-dev: Byte-compiling for emacs20
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/emacsen-common-install:
cd: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dpkg-dev: No such file or directory
emacs-install: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/
emacsen-common-install emacs20 failed at
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-install line 28.
dpkg: error processing emacs20 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 29
In the end, the only way I could find to get around this was to
uninstall dpkg-dev and the things that depend on it, configure
emacs, and then reinstall those packages. What went wrong above?
- When emacs 20.3 was replaced with 20.4, some stuff got left behind
in /usr/share/emacs/20.3/etc/bbdb/*, .../20.3/site-lisp/debview,
.../20.3/site-lisp/psgml and .../20.3/site-lisp/python-elisp.
I just manually erased it all, but shouldn't it have been removed
automatically?
- Some of the startup files in /etc/{emacs,emacs20}/site-start.d/
have not been byte-compiled. Is this correct behavior? Also,
some of the byte-compiled files are older than their sources.
Are these old byte-compiled files, or were they simply installed
with old dates?
- Is there a reason that the psgml package contains the empty
directory /etc/emacs19/site-start.d? (dpkg -S emacs19 produces
psgml: /etc/emacs19
psgml: /etc/emacs19/site-start.d )
I don't have emacs19 installed.
- When the upgrade got to mgetty it produced:
Preparing to replace mgetty 1.1.18-1 (using
.../archives/mgetty_1.1.21-2.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement mgetty ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/mgetty_1.1.21-2.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/etc/mgetty/new_fax', which is also in package
mgetty-fax
Preparing to replace mgetty-fax 1.1.18-1 (using
.../mgetty-fax_1.1.21-2.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement mgetty-fax ...
and then the install stopped shortly thereafter. I typed apt-get
dist-upgrade and the installed continued without a problem.
- When the upgrade got to r-base it produced:
Preparing to replace r-base 0.62.4-2 (using
.../archives/r-base_0.90.0-0.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement r-base ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/r-base_0.90.0-0.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/R/library/splines/R/splines', which is
also in package r-cran
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
The only way this would go away is if I remove r-cran and r-base.
If these errors aren't due to mistakes on my part, then

How to auto-apply kernel patches
I would have thought this were explained better.. I have kernel-package installed and have kernel source for 2.2.13 and the kerneli package installed.

bad alternatives symlinks after potato upgrade
I just upgraded my mostly stock slink machine to potato with apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade. Now I have both /usr/man and /usr/share/man on my system, and neither is a symlink to the other. A quick glance showed no files in common between the two directories, and they both contain around 7.5M. man foo works for foo's in either directory. But the alternatives system is messed up, with symlinks pointing to the wrong place. An example is /etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz, which points to /usr/man/man1/elvis.1.gz, which does not exist. However, /usr/share/man/man1/elvis.1.gz does exist. What happened? Would manually changing all the bad symlinks in /etc/alternatives to point to the right place be the correct fix? Is there an automatic way to do this? Thanks for any suggestions. Dan -- Dan Christensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hmm that sounds interesting, guess ill have a hunt there, im running kernel 2.2.13 thanx aphro wrote: This is a longshot, but what kernel are you running? I saw in the linux-kernel mailing list a bug in staroffice that deals with the latest kernels See: http://kt.linuxcare.com/kt19991122_44.html#5 [from the site] It was pointed out that the latest stable kernels break StarOffice (or rather the Java tool StarOffice depended on). Andrea pointed out that the problem was only with accessing the nonexistant /proc file, not with sprintf(). He pointed out that allowing the quirk in 2.2.x would make no difference to anyone but StarOffice users. So, you are free to upgrade your kernel source to the latest, patch it to be Star Office compatible, and then go on having a happy day.

strange openssh behavior
its very odd, but every once in a while, the ssh connect that i make (with openssh running on both ends) doesn't break. i will log out and the shell will already have exited, but the fork of /usr/sbin/sshd will not exit. on the client-side, the keyboard entries will be echoed to the screen, but will not affect the locked state of ssh. the only way i can exit is to kill the ssh process on the client-side. i've tried killing (as root) the sshd fork on the server-side. but this has the ill-effect of crashing sshd and ending all future ssh connections (the connection i used to kill the first fork is still active and will exit correctly). not mentioning the fact that the ssh connect still doesn't break on the client-side. since i'm using openssh on both ends, could this be a config issue? i'm pretty sure i replaced the config files w/ the package ones when i upgraded, but i might not have. since i don't have immediate access to the server (to restart sshd) i can't get access to the config files for the server (closed everything except ssh, =p), but i'll post them if you need them once i get ssh back up on the server-side. do you guys have any ideas? thanks in advance, herbert

Re: staroffice, potato (patching the kernel)
aphro [EMAIL PROTECTED] I installed Star Office 5.1 in the /opt directory as root with the setup option /net. Then I ran setup as normal user from the /opt/staroffice-dir directory and the setup program installed basic files in my home directory. That's all, no problems under potato with 2.2.11. Did you install the files in your home directory or did you run soffice directly from your installation directory?? I've tried the installation both as user and as root, but all I get is a frozen staroffice installation screen. Everything breaks, no Ctrl+Alt+BkSp or Ctrl+Alt+Del ... nothing works. I recall having it working with 2.0.36, but nothing I can do with 2.2.10. Since the installation attempts, sometimes, when I quit X-Window, I get a striped screen and the system freezes (may be related?). aphro [EMAIL PROTECTED] said something about a patch. How do I apply a patch to the kernel? I mean, just by: # cp patch.x /usr/src/linux/ # cd /usr/src/linux # patch -p0 patch.x (recompile).? Is 0 the right -pnumber?

Re: man and non-80 columns displays
Hi, I like to use some non-standard text modes, like 132x60, but when I use man it aways show pages as if it were at 80 columns mode. HOw to fix it? I'm using a quick hack: in the directory /usr/share/groff/tmac (slink/potato) or /usr/lib/groff/tmac (1.3) there is a file: man.local Add the lines .ll linelength and/or .pl pagelength (you'll have to put these instructions on seperate lines!).. In the case of a resolution of 132x60 this would yield to .pl 59 .ll 132 You'll have to define a pagesize minus one line: for the status-line of less/more.. Have fun.. Bob.. PS.: manual pages called earlier are saved in /var/cache/man/* or /var/catman. These are formatted using your current settings.. You'll have to delete these first before seeing any change for these pages.. Next to that are the preformatted pages.. Same problem, but you shouldn't delete these :-)

Re: Potato upgrade [PERL]
After a long battle with an upgrade to potato from a very customized slink am allmost happy. I just miss one thing: I cannot start gdm due to some wierd problem. It complains about the user and group for /var/gdm. Supposedly they should be nobody:deamon but that doesn't work either. In Slink it was root who owned everything regarding to gdm. Has that changed? Another thing. When I install new packages from dselect I get an error: Cannot find termcap: Can't find a valid termcap file at /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/Term/ReadLine.pm line 305 Is this a general error (I haven't seen it on any other potato-machines)? I recently had a similar problem with xdm after trying to install perl5005. The problem was that perl5005 conflicts with perl_5004, and the former couldn't be installed thereof, and the later couldn't be removed due to many packages depending on it. I wrote to the list and got no answer, and wrote to the perl maintainer but no answer either. Finally, I removed all packages depending on perl_5004, etc, installed perl5005, and reinstalled (well, upgrades) all previously uninstalled packages. Now, the /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/... message at boot up is gone, and xdm is up and working again.

Re: PPP not working after reinstall

Re: sorting and naming files
The following should do approximately what you want:
$ i=1
$ for f in `ls | sort`
do
mv $f text${i}.txt
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
'man bash', 'man sort', and 'man expr' should give you some more
insight into what these commands do.
