dselect and ftp
My recent ftp debian 1.1 installation was a great success, except that I appear to have deleted a package needed for further ftp installations using dselect I don't know where I went wrong, but was trying to save some disk space and probably pressed a - when I should have selected an =. Could this be wu-ftp ? I've looked in the packages list and couldn't see any dependencies could anyone help me out with this one ? Thanks in advance David __ David J.

Re: kernel size (was: How do I get GATEWAY2000 PS/2 mouse to work?)

As a brand new Debian user who didn't even know how to spell Colonel until recently, and who has been caught out by the lack of PS/2 support, I'd vote for a large everything and the kitchen sink kernel to cover most eventualities. This will give heart to new-users and upgraders, and can trimmed and tweaked by the gurus. And thank you to all who responded with my newbie question about telnetting in as root to a box without a screen or keyboard - su and /etc/securetty were all new to me. David __ David J.

telnet acces for root ?
I've set up a test PC with Debian 1.1 and want to administer it remotely but am refused a telnet connection as root ... is there a way around this ? Do I have to give root privs. to a named user or can I enable telnet connections as root ? The machine normally has no screen or keyboard - hence the need for telnet access !
