Re: xman
Hi Kenneth -- You asked: How could that be if xman dose not exist in debian ?? It couldn't be. If you execute zgrep xman Contents.gz | grep bin you'd see that xman is part of the xcontrib package. The Contents.gz files are in the top of unstable, stable, non-free, and contrib. But it really is true that tkman is a _lot_ more useful. For one thing, tkman offers a search capability; xman offers only scrolling and visual grep.

Re: Smail / Sendmail
First option: If I remember correctly, during Sendmail install, it asks if you would like to have Sendmail forward all mail to another address. Simply give it the IP of the Win95 box and configure Sendmail NOT to use DNS. The /etc/hosts file should do what you need. Second option: Using a Linux box as a router,DNS, and Internet Gateway via ISDN is our exact configuration. Not only will it work, but very well. There are several things to consider but it works flawlessly after setup. 1) Depending on your ISDN TA, you'll want it to establish your connection to your provider and re-establish that connection if disconnected for any reason. (A few assumptions sorry) 2) Setup DNS. A whole book written on this subject. Not too large a mountain though. 3) Configure your network to use the Linux Box as your gateway. (We have both Win95 and Win31 boxes that access the internet through our LINUX GATEWAY. Working these items individually should yield your final option.

If all of these sound packages were grouped together in dselect, it would be easy to remove these sound packages.

RE: Getting config from kernel

Which only leaves the question: where can I get the one that was used to generate the kernel in the current kernel-package? You've probably guessed it by now: there isn't one because the initial kernel's precompiled. I don't know of a definitive way of recreating such a file. I can suggest only that you look at what hardware's recognised and which daemons are started at boot-time (run /etc/dmesg), and look around /proc for recognised devices and interrupts.

From all Linux distributions i installed until now Debian was the most counterintuitive i've stumbled over so far. I used the german distribution from S.u.S.E. when it was still based on Slackware. They have an installation and configuration tool called YAST (Yet Another Setup Tool) which is quite intuitive and useable. Just a few days ago i installed out of pure curiosity RedHat-3.03 on another partition of my harddisk and was almost shocked by it's straightforwardness and ease of installation as compared to my really hard time in getting Debian-1.1.6 up and running. Probably i would have given up trying something else if i didn't have had some former experience with Linux upon installation of Debian. I think it would raise Debians popularity significantly if it would be reasonably easy to install for lesser experienced people. RedHat almost strikes me perfect in this regard and i would probably rather recommend RedHat than Debian to a clueless newbie. Isn't it possible to get some inspiration out of RedHat's setup procedure? I'm not in the position to write a more decent installation tool because i don't even know about shell programming.

LaTeX and XFree questions
I'm considering upgrading from my very reliable and perfectly satisfactory 1.2.13 system to the new Elf systems, but I need to be reassured that LaTeX is working OK. I've seen a number of people describing problems with LaTeX and almost no answers to them in the past few weeks. I have an extremely critical need for LaTeX to be working and cannot afford to upgrade and have it break. So is LaTeX going to work if I upgrade? Were all of the reported problems addressed and resolved? I'd stay where I am, except I put in a new Diamond 2000 3D PCI display card and can't make it work with X at the 1.2.13 level. That's the second question. Where might I find out if my new Diamond card is supported by XFree? I looked at sunsite and couldn't find anything that talked about it except the hardware-howto and it was over a year old, so wasn't much good.

anyone interested in pretty xaw3d scrollbars?
Something I've been missing ever since I came to debian was a set of xaw3d
libraries that gave athena scrollbar widgits a nice 3-d appearence to go
with the rest of xaw3d. I'm speaking of scrollbars that are rather
motif-like, not xaw3d95 style. (Go to
http://kite.preferred.com/kitenet/xterm_with_3d_scrollbars.gif for a
screenshot of what I mean)
Well, I finally dug up the patch to Xaw3d that gives it these nice
scrollbars, and I patched xaw3d-1.2a-5 and made a .deb out of it for my
own use. I'll release it as a debian package if there's any demand.
Meanwhile, the patch is at
ftp://kite.preferred.com/pub/home/joey/Xaw3d-1.1-scrollbar.patch if anyone
wants to apply it themselves (it's easy) or if the maintainer of xaw3d
would like to make it part of the base package.

1.1.9?
What's the difference between Debian 1.1.8 and 1.1.9? I see the i-connect page still refers to 1.1.8, so is 1.1.9 not official? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Intel EtherExpress Pro problem
I understand this is the mailing address for Debian GNU/Linux questions. I hope this is true. I am a new debian user. I'm having a problem getting my ethernet adapter running. My hardware platform is an Intel Pentium-S 133MHz. Originally I had an Intel EtherExpress 16 adapter and and after installing Debian 1.1 it seemed to work except that it would often lock up the system during ftp etc. I found in the Linux ethernet HOWTO that this driver had a problem. It also said that the EtherExpress Pro/10 was supported so I begged a co-worker to trade adapters with me. I'm now running with the new adapter but I cannot install the driver. I get a Initialization of eepro failed message. I tried linux ether=5,0x300,eth0 command at boot time but it didn't seem to help. BTW, this adapter is working fine under Windows-NT. Can someone help me? Thanks, Ed -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
shadow for debian
Does debian have a shadow package which would simplify installation of shadow? Or do I have to install it manually? Thanks, Ricardo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problems at www.debian.org??
Is it just me or are others noticing parts of www.debian.org falling offline? Yesterday I couldn't access any of the sections under the Web Interface to the ftp archive. Today I can't even access the overview http://www.debian.org/FTP/. When I could access them they hadn't been updated since 7 Sep 96. Bugs aren't being mirrored http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ The Glimse search engine doesn't work http://www.debian.org/ghindex.html The mailing lists archives http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/ haven't been updated since June. :-( Can I give someone a hand???
