Official CD
I am trying to make Debian Official CD and followed all the instructions and successfully rsync the iso image. I also loaded boot.exe file and other files on the CD, but it does not boot up and by-pass the CD ROM. Is there any source where I can find the step by step instructions after successfull rsync,to load the boot programs on the CD. Any help will be extremely appreciated. Thanks. Vaqar Ahmed
transfering amongst partitions
So, I trying to convert a machine that has been dual-booting NT and Debian for awhile, mainly because I just noticed that I haven't booted into NT in over two months :-) I want to reclaim that lost disk space that is currently an NTFS partition, and that's where I'm stuck. The current layout of the drive is hda1=ntfs, hda2=/, hda5=swap, and hda6=/home. hda1 is 4 gigs, and hda2 and 6 are two gigs each. Now, I assume it would be easiest to re-fdisk/format hda1 to be ext2, then copy all of hda2 over, then hda6 as well, delete everything but hda1, and refdisk to make a four-gig hda2, and recreate the swap. Sounds easy, right? Well, therein lies the troubles. First, I don't know of a safe way to transfer all of those files. I've tried to use tar in the past, but had permision issues (things ended up being owned by root). I could use dd, but that's a block-by-block transfer, right? So the partitions would have to be the same size? cp has the same problems as tar, and how does copying device files work? I thought I read that would screw stuff up. Oh, and how do I boot up afterwards? I forgot to mention that there is no floppy disk available, so I can't just boot off of a rescue floppy and rerun lilo when everything is schootched around. So, I am undoubtably making a mountain out of a molehill, and I just ask that you guys not laugh too loudly. Laughing up your sleeve is perfectly acceptable, though :-) TIA and HAND, D.A.Bishop P.S. Of course this box is running some web services so it can't be down for longer than about 1/2 hour. Just making things easy on me B-)

what about something like say

replace local_part with original_local_part, partial_lsearch with a

exim and sendmail-like virtusertable
i want to set up exim with virtualhosts and virtual passwd and alias files. so far anything works perfectly with a patched gnu-pop3d version. but i'm missing a solution for the special token in sendmails virtusertable which allows all unassigned email-adresses to be sent to another domain (e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]) i want to be able to create aliases for domains and virtual mailboxes (no problem so far), but i want all unassigned emails of a virtual domain to be sent to another domain. i know that it is possible to send all unassigned emails to a specified email (e.g. postmaster) by using a * in the alias file, but i found no solution to create a rewriting rule like it is possible in sendmails virtusertable. i can add a general rewriting rule (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]) in the exim.conf, but this overrides all virtual users and aliases. any ideas? thanks, peter
