Epson Perfection 1670 Photo and SANE
My new Epson Perfection 1670 Photo was purchased last night, as the http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-EPSON listed this as "good means the device is usable for day-to-day work. Some rather exotic features may be missing". So to get this unit going I did this: dhunt:/home/dan# apt-get install libsane libsane-extras hotplug gphoto2 gtkam sane-utils Right! I'm using a stock kernel 2.6.6-1-k7 and the command dhunt:/home/dan# sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x011f [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:004:007 Good! Now the command dhunt:/home/dan# scanimage -L device `snapscan:libusb:004:007' is a EPSON EPSON Scanner flatbed scanner Now! The documentation seems to be leading me in circles. I have edited /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf to uncomment out the line /dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb Anyone have some gentle guidance or HOWTO I must read to get this scanner sharing my vacation photo's?

IMAP help
Hi, I've used imap on a redhat system and it keeps the mailbox file under /var/spool/mail intact, which allows me to switch between an IMAP client and using PINE. I installed the debian imapd package, and although it does keep the mailbox file _somewhere_ because old messages still are retrievable, they are NOT in /var/spool/mail, so I can't use PINE to read any old messages! :( Can someone tell me where the file is kept, if there is an option to imapd which tells it to keep the spool file, or what other options do I have? thanks Ricardo Right now I can only view my old messages thru imap... I can't use PINE anymore to get at them :( -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

How to make boot + root disk? - Please Help!
Hi, How can I make a bootable diskette that has a minimal root filesystem on it (maybe just mount, cp, ps, e2fsck, /etc and probably no networking)?? I know how to make a bootable disk by copying the kernel and using rdev, however I don't know how I'd place a root filesystem on the diskette. This would be extremely useful for disaster recovery, like the goof I did yesterday by accidentally wiping out ld.so Please advise!

HELP!!! ld.so disaster!!
Hi! I was checking my machine for exploits, and one of the vulnerabilities encountered was due to having an older ld_so, and the script recommended that I upgrade to ld_so_1.9.3 or greater... To my disaster, I saw that the only ld_so greater than 1.8 was in the hamm section... upon attempting to upgrade to the hamm 1.9.6 it screwed everything up!!! And it seems EVERYTHING, including ls, cp, vi, dpkg, etc etc is DYNAMICALLY LINKED!!! So I've lost my ld.so, and I can't seem to find a way to do anything anymore! NONE of the critical utilities function anymore! PLEASE HELP!!! HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM??

RAID controllers?
Hi, Does anyone have experience with RAID controllers such as Mylex DAC960 or DPT2144UWR ?? I assume they're supported under linux, right? Question, do any of these support automatic recovery? I heard the DPT needs to be booted up into DOS in order to perform a rebuild... Is that true? What about the Mylex? Although an interactive rebuild is fine, auto recovery would be wonderful. thanks Ricardo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: How to use dpkg -b ??
Thanks... But given the 3 files (diff, dsc, tar), how do I use dpkg-buildpackage? I tried running it but it says it can't find debian/changelog and can't determine the source package... Also, what would be the procedure to customize/patch a package? Would I untar the original source, make mods to the source, tar it up again, and then build the package? I'm fuzzy as to what the procedure would be in order to customize a package. If I make changes to the original source, wouldn't that invalidate the diff file? thanks Ricardo On 18 Nov 1997, Ben Pfaff wrote: > Debian List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > I've grabbed the source files for a package (.diff.gz, .dsc, .tar.gz) but > > now I don't know what to do ;) > > > > I thought the process was to use dpkg -b but that didn't work. > > Install dpkg-dev, then run dpkg-buildpackage. > -- > Ben Pfaff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

How to use dpkg -b ??
Hi guys, I've grabbed the source files for a package (.diff.gz, .dsc, .tar.gz) but now I don't know what to do ;) I thought the process was to use dpkg -b but that didn't work. How do I go about it?

easiest way to upgrade?
Hi, what's the easiest way to upgrade packages, specially if there have been some security updates and we're not sure of what should be upgraded?

Re: savelog with "immediate" compress
Yes, thank you. However, that would cause the "useless" creation of the .0 file because it will be nearly empty... :( each savelog would take up 2 files.
