Unsubscribing?
How do I unsubscribe from this list... I will be back I have graduated and need to move stuff to a different email account. Anything new and breakthrough in the servers/kernel?

cross-install script...
Hi ! I'm having some troubles with the cross-install script, apparently due to some dpkg problems. But as i'm not a Debian user (a slackware one), i'm not used to that king of dpkg error messages... The script says : dpkg did return unusual messages dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH . I don't know what this 'daemon' is, so if someone could help me... ;) Léo.

I don't have the URL memorized, sorry - Try looking hrough the archives, it's mentioned often. This requires nothign other than fdisk, mke2fs, mount, tar and grub to get your hurd system running. -- "It is easy to be blinded to the essential uselessness of computers by the sense of accomplishment you get from getting them to work at all." - Douglas Adams

UNfrotunately this is necessary for dpkg. It might help to add /sbin and /usr/sbin to your path, but it is more likely that you need to run fakeroot (or libtricks). There is an option to dpkg to ignore the user id, but the PATH must be correct. The simplest work around is to run cross install as root. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
