What's the Debian equivalent of a Redhat rpm --checksig *.rpm? This command
is supposed to verify the package signatures (md5, pgp, gpg -- but I've gone
only as far as the md5).
How do I know if my download is all right? I have a more or less
Hi world:
I have actually succeeded in loading two different distros on my pure Linux box
(read no M$): Linux-Mandrake and Storm (a debian-based system). The
arrangement seems fine. X/KDE and Gnome all work! The only problem is that I
can't modprobe or insmod in Storm.
The reason: modprobe can't
unlike rpm which you need to compile rpm to access a .rpm.
I think not. I managed to open an .rpm using the Gnome file manager in a
debian-based installation. An .rpm appears to be a cpio archive. Correct me,
folks, if this is misinformation.
Besides, you can always alien-ate an .rpm

Thru trial-and-error I (partially) solved my problem with my unmountable
LS-120 drive. I had been trying to mount it as /dev/hdd, which is how the
bootup messages recognize it.
I poked around /dev and tried every /dev I knew (or thought or read somewhere)

Now how did you manage to install FOUR different distros? I tried installing
two (Mandrake + Storm, a debian derivative). While I was able to run stuff like
Gnome (practically the whole bunch I guess), I ran into module loading problems.
My Storm installation kept looking for the Mandrake modules.
Hello Jaye,

Well I guess I may have shared a partition or two. I'm not sure what exactly you
mean by same root partition. But here's the [annotated] view from
Mandrake.

Daunting installation? I totally disagree. Debian is the easiest console mode
installation I have ever seen (Win 3.1, Redhat 5.something, etc.).
The difficult part for me was creating the bootable CD. Once I figured out the
queer directory structure, it was as simple as flopping the CD on the

I had tried ftp'ing from /debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/. It contains
far too many files to fit on a CD. And it doesn't contain the boot images and
other non-.deb stuff.
So how did I finally get my bootable CD? I (ahem)

I have a bunch of files I want to rename from .html to .htm. Is there I way to
rename them all at once?
I remember from my DOS days a command like ren (or is it rename?) that
would do the trick. Something like:
ren *.html *.htm
What's the Linux equivalent of this trick? mv only renames files
