I do not remember why I use the config.outline file but I think it is because
at a certain time dvips did not use outline fonts by defaut and that was the
only solution I found at that time to force it doing so. But well I may be
wrong.

Here it is (a note for Norbert : you may forget my previous mail this one is
largely shorter and more helpful :-).
It was not easy to find this minimal example but it is a very surprising
one. I am not sure if it is the only one not working but at least this one
produce the problem I described.

(te)TeX recent changes ...
Is there a place where recent changes in TeX packages are documented ? I ask that because since some times all my pdf produced files are unreadable by people using Acrobat Reader, and even xpdf sends me insults about some bad bounding box in Type 3 glyph (Error: Bad bounding box in Type 3 glyph). I did not change any thing in my configuration. I just make some classical upgrade for time to time (I use sid on a Mac Powerbook G4, for now I only use teTeX). My way of producing pdf files is using latex then dvips and then ps2pdf since I always wants .ps AND .pdf file. I am french and thus use some special characters coded in latin1 such as accentuated letters or french quotation mark (« and »). As for now when I dvips I used "-u +config.outline" but the config.outline file disappear. I have installed cm-super and cm-super-x11 but continue to have the same problem. Using pdffont on my pdf files report always Type 3 fonts.

How to create a *freezed* distribution of a debian mirror
Hi all, I administer a bunch of hosts at work. I have something like 150 PC with 6 servers. I install those PC with a bunch of hand-made script using ssh, rsync, debconf and a home made debian mirror. This mirror is updated every night. It is used for those PC but not only. Some others machines on our campus use it. So this mirror has to be a clean debian mirror. Unfortunately I have to use sid on hosts (clients side) since my users need recent release of some software (KDE, and GNOME for instance). At time t I am able to install properly all hosts. Sometime after, let's say time t+30 days, some changes have been made by my users and thus I need to reinstall all computers in the same state as in time t. Unfortunately my debian mirror has changed since sid is unstable by nature. So installation does not work anymore since some packages have changed a lot (last experience was with gdm for instance). Is there anyway to keep a mirror of time t without having to duplicate it at that time ? Some kind of a customized distribution between sid and sarge ... I thought about only copying Packages.gz from time t and creating a dumb debian repository including only Packages.gz with links in it to the real mirror. Of course my mirror script will have to keep all packages wich versions are used in that Packages.gz.

emacs-vm problem : movemail and local spool file
Hi, I got a problem using vm under emacs with local spool files. I fecth all my mail through fetchmail which directly send mails through procmail which filter it with spamassassin. I put only those lines in my .vm : (setq vm-primary-inbox (expand-file-name "~/mail/toto")) (setq vm-spool-files (list "/usr/local/home/bruno/mail/toto.spool")) Each time I try to get new messages with g or vm-get-new-mail I get "No New mail". The spool files is NOT empty (procmail did its job). When I add this line in my .vm (in order to use emacs movemail and not mailutils one) : (setq vm-movemail-program "/usr/lib/emacs/21.3/powerpc-linux/movemail") Nothing change but sometime I get some strange crash box's type unrecognized : vm-gobble-crash-box: crash box /usr/local/home/bruno/INBOX.CRASH's type is unrecognized When I use imap spool files everything's fine (but I do not have any filter).

Booting Linux from windows 2000
I know that this question is not specially relevant to debian, but I do not know where to ask it anywhere else :-( I want to boot a bunch of dual-boot stations which are running under Windows 2000 to Linux. I tried loadlin but it does not work because of protected mode. I can modify lilo boot loader since those stations are oftenly cloned by Ghost and that default boot options must stay Windows.

Unattended installation...
I am trying to do some unattended installation of debian boxes using apt-get. I use `-q -y' options as well as a prepared debconf cache. Everything is fine but sometimes apt asks me some question about files already installed (some files are those I tailored for my boxes) like this one : Configuration file `/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50tramp.el' ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation. ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : background this process to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** 50tramp.el (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? How may I prevent apt-get to ask me those questions ? BTW, Isn't it time to enforce all packages to use debconf (even lilo does not use it, I was forced to build my own lilo packages to avoid it using liloconfig :-( -- -- Bruno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Problem with resolv.conf and search list
There is something I do not understand about resolving hostnames. It seems the
search primitive of resolv.conf does not work properly in sid, nor in woody.
Let's see some of my configuration files :
resolv.conf
search lifl.fr univ-lille1.fr iut-info.univ-lille1.fr
nameserver 134.206.10.18
nameserver 134.206.1.4
nameserver 134.206.1.15
-
host.conf
order hosts,bind
multi on
-
Then I know a host which is called sole.iut-info.univ-lille1.fr and want to be
able to call it by its short name sole.
The resolver is unable to find it. Let's see it with an example :
{watney-root-/etc}# host sole
sole.lifl.fr does not exist (Authoritative answer)
{watney-root-/etc}# host sole.iut-info.univ-lille1.fr
sole.iut-info.univ-lille1.frA 134.206.40.114
Why did the resolver stop searching after the first search entry (not trying
univ-lille1.fr and so on) ?
Did I miss something or is it a bug ?

Installing a new machine with a selected list of package ...
I would like to install my new laptop with the same packages as those installed on my desktop (which is a sid debian). So I installed a basic potato debian without selecting any packages, then after the first reboot I mount (via NFS) a directory where I stored a debian ftp site mirror plus some specific packages (a home made kernel (build with kernel-package) and such packages (alsa-modules, pcmcia-modules)). I configure apt such that it looks for package on this nfs mounted directory. I then installed my own packages (kernel, pcmcia, etc.) reboot the system, then I do on my desktop dpkg --get-selections > mylist and on my laptop cat mylist | dpkg --set-selections I have then done a : dselect install And all was not right. Dselect have had a lot of problems with some package. I call dselect install a lot of time, and then all seems right, but a lot of stuff does not seems to be well installed (X for instance, even after I copy my own hand-made XF86Config-4). So here is my question : What's the good and efficient way to install a debian box with exactly the same list of packages than another machine ? Second question : Where may I have found this information ? -- -- Bruno
