Examples: Squirrelmail: I've changed the Squirrelmail login graphic and modified the HTML to specify how to log into the mail server. Upon upgrading Squirrelmail, these two files get over written and no backups were made. Hylafax: I've modified the fax receive script to print out all incoming faxes. Upon upgrading, this script gets over written and no backups were made. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii dselect 1.10.27 a user tool to manage Debian packa ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
