Bug#321867: kernel-image-2.6-k7: mention not exactly latest

This package will always depend on the latest 2.6 kernel image available for AMD Duron/Athlon. Because in pool/main/k and pool/main/l I was able to find newer kernel images.

Bug#291766: /etc/init.d/xprint: have to edit /etc/default/xprint to start even just once
Drew> Dan, the command you want is "update-rc.d xprint remove". This will Drew> prevent Xprt from being started up at boot. But then it won't get stopped at shutdown if I started it by hand one day. OK, just remove some of the links. But are these changes recorded somewhere as robust as /etc/default/xprint? Will they weather a apt-get remove; apt-get install as well as /etc/default/xprint? Or does one need a extra notepad to write down what one did? OK, maybe sysv-rc-conf has such a recording system, but it still isn't integrated with weathering a remove/install probably. Drew> I think what I will do is back out the patch which Drew> introduced /etc/default/xprint. It's shouldn't be needed. However, I Drew> won't do this just yet since currently the symlinks will be created Drew> again when you upgrade. This sounds to me like a bug in dh_installinit, Drew> or in the update-rc.d infrastructure, since changes made by the system Drew> administrator to config files in /etc are not supposed to be affected by Drew> upgrades.

(7 seconds by default) How to change the default without recompiling? BUILT-IN COMMANDS There are many options available while connected to your Palm handheld via dlpsh, including the following. user Print the currently set User information, including Username, UserID, PCid, and ViewerID. You may also set these values from this command as well. Use 'user --help' while connected to see details on how to set or change these values. tell us here how. don't force us to go find a palm and connect just to find out. we may be in a rush at that time. also I notice if one just types "u", nothing happens. either allow abbreviations, or print an error message. document your policy too. ls Used with -l and -r to provide long and RAM and ROM file lists, similar to the Unix 'ls' command. This does not yet allow you to narrow your listing to a certain range of files. It will simply list them all. say what -l and -r do. we might not have the ls man page handy, and besides, your -r acts different? also your wording makes it seem one cant use ls alone. $ echo ls -help|dlpsh dlpsh>List all files and databases stored on your Palm device delete 'all' add RAM databases are listed by default. Usage: ls [options] Options: -l --long List all RAM databases using "expanded" format maybe just say 'use "expanded" format' -r --rom List all ROM databases and applications -h Display this information remove this line!: Typing 'ls' on it's own will use the 'simple' listing format df Display how much RAM and ROM is free on your device, again simi- lar to the Unix 'df' command. This does not accept arguments at this time. time Set the time on the Palm from the currently-set desktop time. This does not work on OS version 3.3, due to a bug in PalmOS at that time. rm Remove a file and delete it entirely from the Palm device. This is an irrevokable process, and you cannot "undelete" a file, once it has been deleted with this command. for all these commands I would say e.g., ls [--help] [-l] [-r] rm FILE or rm [--help] FILE [FILE]... and mention your wildcard policy quit Exit the DLP Protocol Shell OPTIONS While in dlpsh, you can always invoke 'help' or --help to get further information on that option. Wrong. this is not an OPTIONS. merge it into the list above. USAGE The program will connect to your Palm handheld and give the user an interactive prompt (a "shell") for executing commands across the DLP HotSync protocol. also add a example of one shot usage: $ echo time | dlpsh REPORTING BUGS Report bugs at http://bugs.pilot-link.org/ Also give email bug address! Regarding 'arbitrary DLP commands', if you don't give any examples of these, we will not think they exist. No wonder the 'u' was not a typo...?!

Bug#293474: pilot-xfer.1.gz: documentation locked inside program

Please use pilot-xfer --help to get the full list of available options). Bad bad bad. E.g., I am reading the man page, but I am doing so on the Palm. How am I to execute pilot-xfer --help?

Bug#293225: pilot-link.7.gz: say which command syncs the time
>> [ports are not all serial these days] David> What does the "S" in USB stand for? ;) You can't fool me. I'm a Master of Computer Science. >> mention syncing the time too.

David> That's covered under the "and many other useful functions" David> part. Issuing 'help' inside dlpsh will explain all of the available David> commands. I want "time" or "date" greppable on the pilot-link man page. It must be as important as the other jazz mentioned there. Else how is one to determine if any pilot-link tool can set the time? Just happen to type $ dlocate -L pilot-link|grep /man|xargs zgrep -i 'set the time' You see, starting at $ apropos palm one will have a hard time finding the tool to sync the time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
