hey list guys I have a couple of less-stupid-than-usual questions for you.
exim.conf wants a hostname, and I can't find where to give it one. mutt wants a mailbox, same problem. also, I've been using different means of installing...apt-get, dselect (aarguah)and even lynx. most of the time grabbing stuff with lynx has worked, but somtimes I get this: gzip:stdout:broken pipe blah blah blah:subprocess gzip-dc returned error exit status 1 dpkg:error processing /tmp/blah blah blah.deb-Fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2 errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/blah blah blah.deb or somthing close. Is this fixable, or should I avoid using lynx to download and install? Ok, I'm on a roll, one more: I put the gnome slink url , and put it into my source list. I had some broken packages, but apt-get -f (and other combinations I tried ) did not fix anything...any suggestions? I said only one more... thanks -tom
