But to save bandwidth on my network I use apt-cacher. It stores files that one machine has downloaded and lets all the other machines use those same files. Just an idea and sorry if this is no help to you.

Also if I copy this directory to another place it becomes "invisible". ie you don't see it with ls, but you can change to it with cd. Make sense? I have done a fresh re-install of all commands used above. And I will be complately rebuilding the compromised box, but I am still intrigued by this. Anybody like to have a go?

My Grub/MBR went bye bye
My girl just bought me a new laptop, Averatec 6100A, I used gparted from a live cd to split my ntfs partition to make way for debian. All went well and worked great. The problem is when I booted Wnd**sa dialog kept popping up saying there was an error. It kept popping up so I clicked fix and now when my computer boots it gets to the point where grub should show but then my computer keeps re booting. So my question is, how to I re-insyall grub eithout having to reinstall debian? I've looked for similar problems but with no luck. I used the windows disk to "fixmbr" but I want grub back. Sorry for the rambaling but I'm on pain med's for my back so I'm a little out of it. Thanks in advance, Jason Edson
Corrupt linux-source-2.6.12
I've apt-get'd the linux-source-2.6.12 package and when i try to unpack it with with tar -jxvf I get this error: [snip] linux-source-2.6.12/drivers/usb/net/usbnet.c tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing. Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout) It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files. You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors I've tried to get it a couple times but keep getting the same error. The mirror I'm using is http://debian.osuosl.org but I've tried others. Is anyone else getting this error or is there a way to fix it? I've also tried running the bzip2recover program with no success. Thank you for your time Jason Edson

aptitude synaptic gnome to be removed?
I just did a dist-upgrade on my unstable box and for some reason apt wanted to remove gnome, synaptic, aptitude and I think one other. Has any one else had this problem or can someone tell me the reason why?

Starting wlan0 instead of eth0
I'm new to this part of my debian system. Instead of having eth0 load up when my system starts, I want to run a script that enables my wireless card(wlan0) that uses ndiswrapper to load. My script looks like this: #!/bin/bash echo "Starting wireless networking." ifconfig eth0 down modprobe ndiswrapper sleep 1 iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed iwconfig wlan0 essid cocksmoker iwconfig wlan0 key blahblahblahmynetkey dhcpcd -t 10 -d -G 192.168.1.1 wlan0 echo "Wireless networking started.hopefully!" I don't know how to achive this so any pointers or links for some reading would be very appreciated. Thanks for your time.
