Download the 'equivs' package and then go to /usr/share/doc/equivs/ and you will find in that directory some sample control scripts. Use one of those and edit it so that it pertains to the package you are trying to remove. Then do equivs-build ns-control assuming you named the control script "ns-control" The README in /usr/share/doc/equivs explains how it is done. Then install the resulting deb package and then remove it. If that does not work you might have to edit one of the files that tracks which packages are installed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I received my November issue of the US "Linux Magazine" today and it has an
article on udev, as does the October issue UK magazine of the same name.
This article (in the US magazine) is more basic than the article in the UK
magazine.
If there is a Borders near you, some of their stores have both magazines.

The reason I removed Debian from my laptop (I run Debian on two desktops) is that it would not detect the modem (a "winmodem") or the wifi interface. I then tried Xandros and it did not detect them either, but Linspire detected all hardware. I now have Linspire and Freespire installed on the laptop.

After a year or so of that, I moved to Debian Hamm or Slink and I can't imagine going back to an rpm-based distribution. If you like the Debian packaging system but think Debian is for "techies", I suggest you try Xandros, Linspire, or Freespire. Freespire might be too "techy" but you might want to try it anyway and it is available at no cost. If you want a Linux that works "out of the box", Linspire and Xandros are very good Debianish distros. 8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I wonder whether you have installed packages from more than one release, for example, some packages from Sarge (aka stable) and others from Etch (aka testing). If you have done that, you might have to compile your own initrd-tools from deb-src.

ipsets for shorewall on a Sarge system
Does anyone know whether ipsets will work on Sarge systems and which kernel I should install on a Sarge system to get it to work? I have found information that kernel 2.6.16 is required for ipsets functionality but also read that it can work on 2.6.11 kernels. Is patch-o-matic available for Debian systems? I don't see it anywhere so I believe it is not available as a Debian package. thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Look here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=405170 IIRC I had a similar problem when I installed Debian on one machine and I fixed it by using module-assistant and removing all the ALSA modules except for the one needed by my mobo's sound card.

PythonCard unable to find itself (Etch)
I am unable to get PythonCard to work in Etch. When I run codeEditor, it complains it can't find the pythoncard installation.

I didn't think of that one.

You might try making a package with the same name, using the equivs package. There are sample control files with the equivs package.

I have found that I need three browsers to be able to view/play the most content. Most sites render well in Firefox and Konqueror but Konqueror sometimes will not play video or sound clips when Firefox 'knows' how to bring up the app that plays the media. I have Opera and I don't use it much anymore because it won't play most media. I think it is due to a Java problem. Occasionally, I use Opera to view content that won't render well in the other browsers. Until Firefox, Opera was the browser I found most useful. The developers of those browsers should get together and come up with ONE great browser. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

IIRC, Sarge installs GRUB by default and if you are using GRUB, the initrd should be taken care of when you install the kernel deb. The last time I installed a custom kernel, I believe I did it like this: * did the kernel config first * then make-kpkg clean make-kpkg --initrd --revision=myhost.1.4 kernel_image modules_image Once the debs were built, I installed them (kernel and modules) and GRUB took care of the rest.

BTW if you want to kill the connection while it is active, do 'netstat -cpantu' and then 'kill -9 ' The PID is the number after "ESTABLISHED" in the output of that netstat command.

I get lots of those, often from Asia and S. America. Block the IP at the firewall. If you install Portsentry, you can have Portsentry block them automatically using iptables.

I agree that the OP could buy an older DSL router for about $30 and I think that would cost less over time than running an additional computer to provide IP Masquerading, which is what I think the OP wants to do (IP Masq).

If so, try putting kprinter as the printer command if lp or lpr will not work, and put something like -Plp0 or -Pprinter in the "Parameter" box under the box that has the print command (in Opera's printer settings).
