Just a quick follow-up to my post: I use Mutt and have read in one place
that Mutt does not support GnuPGP (in the PGP notes in /usr/doc) and in
another place, the on-line FAQ, that GnuPGP is recommended? What gives?

I've got the latest Mutt from the unstable branch.

Hi, I just did a update on my machine to get the latest potato and imap
seem's to have broken in the process.  I get the following error in the

This is on a rather important machine, can you help?

PGP for Windows -> GnuPGP?

[David J. Kanter]

I've got a public and private keyring, created with PGP 6.5 for Windows NT,
that I'd like to use on my Linux box. Can I use the GnuPGP package as a
substitute? The keys are nothing fancy, like no encoded pictures or
anything, so I would think they are fairly backward-compatible.

Thanks.

Re: Debian Slink/Potato w/SMP

[aphro]

cooling in my case is *excellent*, like i said the cpu never gets to 35C,
and i got a high quality power supply, high RPM fans, overtemp
alarm..etc..by contrast when i first got the machine(before i added all
the extras) CPUs routinely exceeded 52C.

in terms of SMP i'd reccomend an ASUS board(worked good for me thus far,
going since april running [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and supermicro(excellent)  i dont
have *personal* experience using anything else other then those and the
bp6.

BP6 im sure is a find board for most, but from what i've seen it is the
minority rather then the majority who run it trouble-free. If you(or
someone you know) has a BP6 a good test is to run 10 copies of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
at the same time(with 128MB of ram do 15 if there is 256MB) and let it run
for a day.  My K6-2 366(o/c from 300 on a 430TX board) can do 10x without
a hitch, the hdd light is on virtually the whole time.  My BP6 runs about
2 minutes before a hard lock.  I have no IDE, only SCSI, and only quality
expansion devices(only thing that changed was the mainboard and
cpus) using 2 boxed intel 466 cpus not overclocked, and 2x128MB PC100
SDRAM running @66mhz.

with all the machines i've built i have no doubt it is a screwy
board.  not that there is anything i can do about it, the first few weeks
i thought it was a linux problem(kernel 2.2.12) by the time i concluded
that it was indeed the board i was out of warranty.

my 0.02 take it for what its worth, avoid the BP6 if stability is one of
the top concerns.

pppd acting up

[Dave Sherohman]

I rebooted my dialout server two weeks ago to install a new hard drive and
I've been having trouble with pppd/diald ever since.  Specifically, it
doesn't add a deafult route through the ppp link when it goes up.  Updating
to the latest versions of both has not helped any.  (I initially suspected
diald of being the problem, but while doing the update yesterday, I had to
use pon/poff for a bit and experienced the same problem.)

It works fine if, after the link goes up, I manually

route add default gw w.x.y.z

but this route only gets added automatically about 20% of the time.

Suggestions, anyone?

Yes. I've been told my problem is a bug in rdate on Alpha and to use a

The folowing worked for me:

- - downloadet the sources (apt-get source linux-utils)
- - applied the patch found in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/crypto (there
are some problems, but you can ignore them)
- - run configure
- - cd mount
- - added the option -I/usr/src/linux/include to the CFLAGS in the Makefile
- - make
- - mount and umount are suid root
- - copy losetup to /sbin and mount, umount to /bin

This is not quiet a clean way, but works...

Yesterday I have updated my K6-2 Potato-Box then I have checked my

I can´t remeber exactly, but one week ago or so everthing was working
fine. At least it was mount/util-linux 2.10
My guess is mount/util-linux2.10d-3 are not compiled for loopback
encrypted filesystem.

It simply means that the 'time' service that rdate tries to connect

the entire system is unreachable.

Best way to be a tester

[Ross Boylan]

I'm about ready to do an install of debian, and thought the most useful
thing might be for me to test the new (potato?) install procedure from
scratch.  I figure most people have been upgrading existing distributions,
so it would be more valuable to start without one.

Is this the best (that is, most useful to debian, yet feasible and
reasonably safe for me) thing to do?

If so, exactly what should I do?  There was a notice about a month ago about
the need to test boot floppies, but it points to some alpha links, and I
think we're past alpha.  There was also notice about a testing distribution
at lully.debian.org, but I can not access that site (is it down? obsolete?)
as of 11:45 am pacific Wednesday.

Relevant facts:
* I have existing systems (NT and 98) and work on the computer, and don't
want them destroyed.
* I have CD's for Debian 2.1
* Only a 56k modem, but would consider an overnight download.
* Processor is AMD K6-2/400.  Asus P2B motherboard.  256Mg Ram.
* Installation will be to a 13.6 Gg Maxtor EIDE drive.  I've reserved small
partitions below 4Mg for root and swap, and a larger one at the end of the
drive.  All this is in an extended partition.
* I have installed Debian several times before, and am "comfortable" saving
boot sectors and switching them around.

If doing the whole thing is inadvisable for some reason, I'd also be willing
to test boot floppies and the initial install procedure, and then go ahead
with a regular 2.1 install.

Re: Debian Slink/Potato w/SMP

[Robert Rati]

I use it and it works great.  The distribution really isn't a factor when
you're talking about performance.  It's a really minor thing.  The kernel
is what gives you the performance for the most part, and I run 2.2.13 with
no problems at all.  Well, aside from a hardware issue, but that's being
solved.  Performance and stability will be largely the same in regards to
smp because all linux's use the same kernel.  The linux kernel.

This sounds like a general problem with the package.  I would suggest
filling a bug report to Debian about it.  You can't be the only one with
this problem since many people put /usr on a separate partition.

You need to edit the debian/rules file in the Debian source package.
That is just a make file and it should contain all the installation
locations in some form or another.  During the build process it first
gets placed under the debian/tmp directory in the layout that it would
be under / once it is installed.  So you need to find the location
information that is placing in under debian/tmp and modify that.  Then
just run 'debian/rules binary' and it should build the new package.  You
might want to add a entry to debian/changelog to note your changes. Once
your new package is built and installed you can use dselect to place it
on hold so that newer Debian packages don't install over the top of it.

HTH,

So it's in libc, which you must have or nothing would work,

If you have that file, you could just recreate the symbolic

Is diald setting the default route to the PPP connection or is all the

If I understand you, you want your RedHat server to be a mail
server for your Windows clients.  And you want to use POP.

In that case, "sendmail" is the wrong program.  It is an SMTP
server.  POP and SMTP are two quite different protocols, like
different languages.  You need a server which speaks the same
language as your clients, so you need a POP server.

You can RTFM at http://www.linux.org/help/howto.html - look
for Electronic Mail HOWTO.  There's a section on POP.

on openldapd

[Ronald Tin]

Hi all,

I have a openldapd running on a potato. Whenever I upgrade
it, I find that the ldbm files fail me (ldapsearch fails).
If I revert to the old version the query is ok.
At last I downgraded, dumped all the contents,
then upgrade and run ldif2ldbm.
(Argh, I just find it in the critical bugs list..)
So, are there better ways to bypass that for now?
Or should I just mark it as hold for the moment?


And that I find that I can never login with the default
admin password that I typed when I install openldapd.
Everytime I tried (re)installing it it give me a {crypt}ed
password that is much longer than the expected one of 13
characters.


And then.. how to stop slapd from reporting every query?
I was trying "-s". for a value of "0" it is giving me more
stuff...

As various correspondents have already pointed out, my script does in
fact work perfectly for Freeserve, which was why I posted it. I
generated it automatically with the pppconfig script so can't claim any
particular credit for it.

Freeserve uses the same username and password for everything, including
fetchmail and uploading files to the website. It is correct to say that
you have to use the whole username, in my case
"pentelikon.freeserve.co.uk".

You cannot read mail with a SMTP server.  that is for sending mail

include both POP3 and SMTP so it may seem as if the smtp is allowing users
to read mail) the daemons listen on different ports(smtp 25 pop3 113 imap
and pop3 not sure about) and are different protocols.

POP2/POP3/IMAP is used for modern mail reading.

Re: TERM=xterm-debian

[aphro]

thats just how it is ..it depends on what "xterm" you use,  I use
gnome-terminal(used to use kvt) and don't have a problem. This SGI Indy
I'm on set's it's default terminal to iris-ansi.  Slackware (3.2
anyways) had in the /etc/profile a detection routine for terminal type and
if it failed detection it would default to something, I usually just throw
a export TERM=vt100 into my /etc/profile or .profile if you dont have
root.  I think for 99% of things vt100 will work, for the other 1% change
them on an individual basis(i've never found a terminal app that didnt
work with vt100- although using vt100 on this SGI causes some screwy lines
but it does work..)

Building customized packages

[glhenni]

I'd like to install the stock apcupsd module but have found some
shortcomings in the pre-packaged version. Namely that I have /usr on
it's own partition and when a shutdown is performed, because of a
power failure, apcupsd won't power off the UPS because /usr isn't
mounted at the point in the halt script from which apcupsd is called
to power off the UPS.

What I need to do is link apcupsd statically and install all the
binaries on the "/" partition, eg., /sbin. I downloaded the source
package and I figured out how to statically link apcupsd, but I'm not
sure how to get the utilities to install in /sbin instead of
/usr/sbin. Also, suppose I modify the package and use
dpkg-buildpackage to make an apcupsd_3.6.2-1_i386.deb file. How do I
keep that from being superceeded by a new version from.

I guess my basic question is how do I take a debian source package,
customize it to my needs, build a *.deb file, install it and keep it
from being removed in favor of a new version when one comes down the
pipe from the Debian developers? Is there a procedure for this kind of
thing?

Thanks,
Gary

chat has no problem with dots.  In any case Anthony is not the one with the
problem: he is giving an example of a working freeserve connection.

Looking at Anthony's files I am led to guess that Freeserve is one of those
providers that require different usernames and/or passwords for
authenticating a ppp connection than for email and such.  It may be that
the guy with the problem (I'm sorry, but I've forgotten your name) is
giving something like 'qwerty' for his username when it should be
'qwerty.freeserve.co.uk'.

Perhaps I need to add some text about this to pppconfig.

By any chance is "/usr" a separate partition on your system, and not a
part of your "/" partition? Here's a note I sent to the apcupsd
mailing list some time ago. I'm just now updating my machines to
potato, and updating to the Debian apcupsd package, so I don't know
how applicable all this is to potato, but it's worth looking at

-Begin email to apcupsd mailing list
[snip]

A couple of other things I noticed that might be of interest. On my
Debian system I have the "/" and "/usr" directories on separate
partitions. This caused me some headaches trying to get things set up
right so that the halt script would power off my UPS. The reason is
that by the time the halt script gets to the line that sends the UPS
the poweroff signal the only partition mounted is "/".

First, I had to put all the apcupsd software in "/sbin" for obvious
reasons (well, obvious to everyone but me!:)

Next there's conditional at the start of the powersc script that looks
like:

  if test "$(whoami)" != "root"; then
printf "Sorry, you must be root to run this script." | wall
exit 1
  fi

When powersc is executed in the halt script this bombs on my Debian
system because "whoami" and "printf" are in /usr/bin, which was
unmounted earlier in the halt script. My solution was to remove that
conditional and "chmod 700 /sbin/powersc". I think that will
accomplish the same thing.

Lastly, powersc executes

/sbin/apcupsd killpower

when powersc is executed from the halt script. Trouble is, when
apcupsd is compiled without modification to the Makefile, specifically
LDFLAGS, it depends on quite a few shared libraries which, on my
Debian system, are in /usr/lib. That spells trouble on any system on
which "/usr" isn't on the same partition as "/" and is thus unmounted
prior to the execution of "powersc KILL" in the halt script. My
solution was to add a "-static" to the LDFLAGS and all was well with
the world.

Let me see if I got it correctly:
mount can tell whether I have open file descriptors that are related to 
removed files and there for it does not let me remount the fs ro?
What does it care? Will remounting the fs erase the data from these blocks? 
Why was I allowed to remount /usr rw when apt-get was started?

BTW: After I sent my previous email I tried to convince mount to let me 
remount the fs ro by quitting some applications and then changing to run level 
3 and then back to 2, which did not help. But then I stopped my mgetty-fax 
daemon, and this enabled me the to mount the fs ro. I restarted the daemon 
after wards. As far as I remember no megtty package was involved in the 
upgrade, although it seems to be using some perl stuff and perl was indeed 
upgraded. I wonder if others can verify that the meggty-fax daemon in 
particular, or perhaps perl is responsible for not letting mount to remount 
/usr ro after an upgrade. Can it be that it some how this daemon opens a file 
rw but this is ignored when the fs is mounted ro?

how much bandwidth do you have now? and how much are you using? what kind
of router do you have? does it support snmp?  I don't run that kind of
network but an ISP, and i have cricket gather statistics from my router
every 5 minutes.. despite hosting 60+ domains, multiple DSL lines, and 30
or so dialup lines our network load is still quite minimal(we have
T1/1.554Mbps)

http://www.firetrail.com/~cricket/cricket/grapher.cgi?target=%2Frouter-interfaces

we have(for example) been averaging 100kbit/s for the past 24 hours..

is that serial port hard coded on whatever device it's on?  does the

If you installed CUPS you might have the lp command.  You
might also have an lpstat command.  I tried using cups and
found that you have to specify the printer on the command
line. It will not use the default printer correctly.
Try lp -dprintername ...

Diald throttles bandwidth?

[^chewie]

Problem: 
Diald seems to throttle my bandwidth when comparing download
speeds of a diald connection vs. a straight pppd connection.

Details:
I set up a LAN at my house so my roomies could connect to the
internet on my dialup account for web browsing, etc.  However,
when I tested the connection, I noticed a 25% drop in bandwidth
rates when compared to a straight pppd connection to the same ISP.
What might be the problem here?

Everything in the pppd config was mirrored in the diald config
where it applied.  MTU/MRU settings were the standard 1500 and the
requested connection speed was set to 115200.  The same chatscript
was used, and pppd was executed from the connect script with the
options listed in-line.

Nothing seems out of place, and the connection goes up just fine.

Any ideas?

proxy (squid?)

[Joe Hall]

Greetings all!

Currently I've got ~100 users going through a proxy server and I am looking
to better serve their browsing experience.
I've just renewed our contract with our ISP and since they are giving us a
discount I thought about more bandwidth... but the next jump is double what
we are paying now.  I was just wondering how others are handling this type
of environment?  Do you have more than one proxy as in an array?


Thanks for the info!

To install a .deb,
dpkg -i foo.deb 
check out man dpkg or use 'dselect'.

I'm not so experienced with installing foreign packages but they mostly
should be installed in /usr/local.  I've found one incidence where the
program had to be installed in /usr or it wouldn't work properly.  You
can use the command 'tar -xvvzf foo.tar.gz' to unpack, then read the
"INSTALL" documentation or other documentation that may apply.

Try this

(this assumes you are in the dir containing root.bin, of course)

Re: pppd died

[Hans]

Corel or pure Debian, pppd daemon dying unexpectedly also happened to me a
lot. It didn't matter if I used pppconfig-pon-poff or something like kppp,
it's the daemon that died, not the config program. The one thing I found
out was that pppd requested an authentication from the provider, despite
the 'noauth' line in /etc/ppp/peers/providerX. The only thing that helped
was to comment the line 'auth' in /etc/ppp/options although that was not
recommended according to the note above that particular line.

I can connect now, but it is still so flaky that you can hardly call it
reliable. I apt-got some packaged yesterday, but after a while pppd died
again and refused to work afterwards.

Here in Holland we have free access ISPs like Zonnet, Wanadoo, Freeler,
etc. which are - I suspect -  Windows based. I never had any trouble with
my Unix based ISP in Taiwan and I'm going to switch to a Unix based ISP in
Holland in the new year. These free services are very restricted in that
you can't even get your mail from Zonnet if you are dialed in with Wanadoo. 

I suspect therefore that there are also other nagging features that might
wreck havoc with a Unix based system. What I don't know yet, I'm only a
newbie playing around with a Potato system build from scratch. -- Hans

Are you sure the command is "lp", not "lpr". lp is the name of the printer,
but the command to print from the command line is "lpr". At least I do not
have a command named lp:
$ lp
bash: lp: command not found

framemaker

[Christian T. Steigies]

Hi,
is anyone else trying to use framemaker with debian/slink? 
Yesterday I got a mail from adobe:

(1) C library incompatibiliy with some distributions of Linux, including
Red Hat 5.2 and Debian 2.1.

Users will typically see the following message in this case:

./maker: error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info   

The FrameMaker executable is incompatible with certain releases
of version 2.0.7 of the GNU C Library, which are included with
some distributions noted above.

FrameMaker will not run on systems with this incompatibility,
unless access to a different version of the C Library is provided.

Is there another option for me than upgrading to glibc2.1 (potato)?
I remember seeing this error before, and I think it was fixed, but maybe
that was only an m68k incompatibility at that time.

Two points re the above :(1) I assume your /etc/chatscript file
is called freeserve? (2) try enclosing your ISP username in
single quotes as it contains dots. This may well be the problem.

 Hi guys!
 
 I installed Debian in a Digital Personal Worstation 500au, and now I am
 having some problems, could someone help me please?
 
 1 - The correct server to my video card is the xserver-3dlabs and when I
 asked to dselect to install it then it ask for "libz1", the problem is
 that up to now I could not find such library. Does someone know where I
 can find it?
 
 2 - Regardless of that problem I ask for dselect to install that server
 and then I did all configurations (XF86Config file), the problem is when I
 enter the comand line "startx", I received the following messages:

 This is the main error message that I get (in attachment there is a

 Does someone know what I could try in order to solve those problems?
 
 Thanks, cheers.

what about trying a dpkg --pending --configure to have horde configured.
It seems that the problem is with horde and your attached text doesn't
show the problem with it.

I had horde/imp from unstable. Working fine till now with apache+mod_ssl. 
My only problem was when I tryied to automagic configure it for apache and
apache-ssl. Then I set it for apache and manually put it on a virtual host
that runs mod_ssl.

I'm trying to make the "base" disks to do a potato install.

When I do a "dd if=root.bin of=/dev/fd0," I get the following:

dd: /dev/fd0: Input/output error

1112+0 records out


looks like a disk error prevented the copy from completing


And again with "cmp root.bin /dev/fd0":

cmp: /dev/fd0: Input/output error


does cmp work with device files?


This is using a standard 1.44 floppy drive that came with my system.  It
has worked fine for as long as I've had the machine.  By the way, I also
tried several different disks, all with the same results as above.

Any thoughts?


I have had similar problems and every time it was a bad floppy at 
fault, i solved the problem by throwing the floppy in the general 
direction of the trash can and grabbing a new one out of a box full 
of hundreds , I always use the following procedure to test floppies:


dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=2880

then i eject the floppy and reinsert it (otherwise the kernel cache 
will prevent a real test) and run:


cat /dev/fd0 > /tmp/floppytest

when that finishes there should be a file in /tmp exactly 1440K if 
cat complains about any errors remove the floppy and throw it in the 
general direction of the trash :)


if all floppies seem to be bad then I would suspect your floppy drive 
is either gone south or is dirty, more likely the latter so get a 
cleaning kit and try cleaning it. I have fixed many floppy drives 
this way.  (back when i worked at a school kids would manage to get 
so much snot inside there disks it would transfer to the heads then 
to someone elses disk, and in turn that disk would transfer gook to 
yet another floppy drive...)


try at least 5 floppies though, I have had up to 3 or 4 in a row be 
bad, floppies are about the most unreliable things ever invented.

'dpkg --get-selections' will do the job for you. You may want to

You would literally be putting the modem in the server, and configuring
that for connecting to your ISP.  Then you need to set up the server to
use IP masquerading; this is the Linux equivalent of NAT.  Once all done,
you simply tell the workstation that the server is it's default gateway;
the server takes care of the rest.

Once the workstation is configured correctly, applications won't know the
difference.

i am not so sure about the impact of the topology in my problem, since
machine a conected by eth0 must conect (and administer) to machine b
conected via ppp0, but both machines will be in diferent continents
(berlin and mexico)

the cables and hubs are so influential ?

Helphelp,
I am trying to install 3dfx Xfree86 drivers for my voodoo3 video card. I am
running into a conflict between these drivers and the debian drivers.I am
using Debian that Oreilly and Var are selling. 2.1.? Any ideas how
to get around this. Details are below:
I have successfully downloaded and installed Xfree86 3.3.5 from debian.org.
Also, I have installed the RedHat package manager that works with alien. Now,
I have 5 rpm packages of the 3dfx Xfree86 drivers to install. S:
alien -i Xfree86~1.rpm (to take care of the first package)
  Installation starts but ends with following messages:
  Unpacking xfree86-SVGA (from Xfree86-svga-3.3.35-1.6_i386.deb)
   dpkg: error processing xfree86-svga_3.3.5-1.6.i386.deb (--install):

  Errors were encountered whil processing:
   xfree86-svga_3.3.5-1.6_i386.deb
alien: error running: dpkg --no-force-overwrite -i xfree86
(and more stuff, but I got called away and didn't finish writing it all).
   Note: I had two install two Glide packages, also .rpm, that I used 
alien -i to install and it all went well and slick.

Is this bug 52206?  File more info if you have it I suppose.

Can the UPS run in dumb mode on that cable?
If so, you could try shutting down the UPS using another package,
e.g. powstatd.

don't think you can filter and show what packages were installed via what

Re: Startup-scripts

[Fish Smith]

I hammered out this reply, and then I realized it
would be somewhat irrelevant because I use slink and
I've been told that Debian is switching from
/etc/rc.boot to rc.S, or something, because it's more
widely used.  So if the following doesn't apply to
potato, then please disregard it:

Try putting the scripts into /etc/rc.boot
Make sure they are prefaced with #!/bin/sh or
#!/bin/bash or #!/bin/perl, or whichever program you
want to run the script.  This is something that I
never needed to do before because my scripts were
always executed from within bash (and I was only using
bash scripts) and my perl scripts were executed with
the perl program in the command line.  But you
probably knew this part already =)

The way the /etc/rc.XX directories work is that
whatever is in the directory is executed when the
system enters runlevel XX.  I can't remember which
numbers mean what, but rc.boot isn't referred to
numerically so it's easy to remember what it does.

Everybody feel free to correct me if I've said
anything stupid in this post.  Heck, the letters might
not even be rc.  I've been away from civilization
(read:Debian--or BSD, or anthing similar) for so long
(read: three weeks) that I'm starting to lose it.

re: imp and horde for Debian

[Fox, Michael]

Anyone successfully got horde/imp working with 
Debian and mysql server... if so explain to me where you got the binaries and 
how you did it?
 
If not, I am about to try by grabbing the source 
and trying to compile my own lot of stuff and get it working from 
source.
 
Any pointers from those you have it 
working?
 
Thanks
Michael

Re: debian-user-digest Digest V99 #2205

>>HTH -- You know you've been spending too much time

>>and you suggest adding a "++" to fix it. 

I know I've been spending too much time on the
computer when I try to spell "goto hell" without a
space in "goto".  But that one makes a lot less sense
in the GNU/Linux Realm than it did when I was into Win
and DOS and used BASIC/VB and such.

>I have this but with PATH="$PATH:/usr/etc."
>Should I remove the "$"? 

No.  The dollar sign needs to be there, I'm pretty
sure, if you want PATH to be recognized as a shell
variable.  Otherwise you will seriously screw things
up because bash will think that PATH is a directory
and the settings for PATH in /etc/profile will not
apply to that user.  Unless this is what you want to
happen.  I think he meant for the $ to be there but
the point he was trying to make was that you had to
'export PATH="blablabla"' rather than just
'PATH="blablabla"'.

This is a bit off topic for this thread, but I'm
looking for the cheapest Celeron machine I can find
online.  I saw the bit about thelinuxstore.com's PIA
for $199 in  Linux magazine, October I believe, but on
the site they have it for $349 with no floppy or
CD-ROM drive.  I need to be able to install the drives
from my old machine but the PIA has a wierd-ass casing
that I don't think has room to accommodate addition of
internal floppy/CD-ROM drives the way a normal i386
computer would.

My current Debian box is tanked due to /*extreme*/
hardware failures.  The motherboard is so shot it
isn't even funny, the power source is having problems
too, and I don't have the manual for the machine so I
don't even know the specs.

emacs 20.5a uploading (Possibly important Y2K fixes).

[Rob Browning]

I'm very happy that there weren't any serious upstream conflicts to
integrate so I was able to package it quickly.  It's uploading now,
but I'm on a slow connection ATM, so it might be a while...

Although I've been told there are some y2k fixes in this version, I
haven't carefully evaluated the diffs.  This is just an upstream
bug-fix release, so no new features.  If someone's willing and able,
this should probably be considered for the slink-y2k package set too.

Let me know if there are any problems.  I'm travelling at the moment,
so my access may be a bit irregular.

Thanks

P.S. The version number is 20.4.pre20.5a-1.  This avoids the problem
with the fact that the upstream tarfile's version 20.5a sorts (via
dpkg) as newer than 20.5 which hasn't been released yet.  Epochs would
be another solution, but I haven't decided whether or not I like that
better, and the packaging manual seems to lean against it.  FWIW

Oh, gosh... I guess I wasn't clear enough. I am not interested in
doing NAT or Masquerading -- I'm on a cable modem, and have NAT
already set up.

What I was looking for is my workstation being able to use server's
modem to do stuff like faxing and dialing out to a BBS. Can I set up a
comm port on one machine, but so that it would be actually using comm
port of another? Like permanent comm port tunnelling or something of
that sort?

Thanks!

Not sure what's causing this behaviour.

> vga=ask was indicated as an option by the O'Reilly book.

Yep, this should show you all the options available to you.

The kernel has built-in support for the standard VGA text modes (not to be
confused with SVGATextMode package) which you can call at boot-time by
passing values to the kernel from LILO.  

My preferred way of doing this is via the LILO prompt itself, which gives me
the flexibility to turn this one on and off at will.

Some video cards can't do the various modes they claim to support quite right, 
so on new machines, calling this stuff from the LILO boot prompt (if you have
it enabled) allows you to play with the settings to find the best one for the
particular machine.

So at the LILO: prompt, type:

"linux vga=ask" if your kernel image is called linux as most are...

You'll be prompted through displaying the possibilities your card can support.
You then choose and voila... smaller text than you had during the LILO portion
of the boot. 

Some settings don't work so well, so play and find what's best for your machine.
Then you can either define it on the command line from LILO "linux vga=2", or
just put it in /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo ... as I believe you said the
O'Reilley book suggests.
