Hi,
I believe that the shared library exported by this package
(libgdbm.so.1.7.3) is basically the same thing that other linux
distributions (slackware and redhat in particular) choose to ship as
libgdm.so.2.0.0 ... Perhaps Debian too should do this?

APM support is enabled in the 2.0 kernel on this bootdisk. Some
"green" motherboards have problems with this, resulting in kernel
oops every time during kernel startup (before mounting the root
filesystem). Turning off power management in BIOS setup doesn't

Can someone specify for me a document (either within /usr/doc or on
the WWW somewhere) that says exactly what the internals of a .deb file
look like?

the format is, I believe that people would like at least to think tha

So, is it "Deee'-bian" (long e) or "Deb'-ian" (short e), or something else?
It never occurred to me that the pronunciation could be anything other than
"Day'-bee-un", but then I say "Lye'-nucks", too.

I think we should look at adapting the src.rpm format to debian's needs, but
I haven't investigated it enough to know how practical an idea that is.

I'm working on the FAQ now, and believe it or not, these questions come up
(at least in the back of people's minds) fairly often.
So, is it "Deee'-bian" (long e) or "Deb'-ian" (short e), or something else?
Also, where did the word come from and why does the project have that name?

buzz is the new name for the Debian-1.1 release. unstable is the current
devolpment version (which will be 1.2) which we're now going to work on.
Basically unstable is a copy

Dale, why don't you send them some mail asking if this would be the

What happens exactly. Do you get an error message? Does the mouse simply

According to the Ftape-HOWTO, Travan drives are supported.
Hope this helps.

I think it is a bug that the 2.0 sources are only in buzz/binary-i386/devel,
and not in buzz/binary-all/devel. Moreover, they are neither in unstable or
in rex.
Here's the output from a find on master:

Seems ok to me, if not ok tell me because same kind of thing is with the
