Hi gurus,
I'm looking to buy or build an install host -- one machine dedicated to
building and serving a local repository for the purposes of
installing/upgrading/maintaining other Debian hosts throughout our
organization. The problem is, I'm a little clueless when it comes to
hardware, and
Hello gurus,
I'm hoping someone can give me a hand.
I have been running my own repository for a while now, and with the
release of etch as the new stable just around the corner, I would like
to add my own authentication to my repository. So I set up an install
host running etch, put a repositor

Hi guys,
Using sarge.
I have a silly apt-get/aptitude question for you. I have a script that
sets up a big long command line of packages that I want added to the
system. In this command line, I specify that I want the lpr package
removed, and the cupsys-bsd package installed (the two are mu

Hello gurus,
I thought I would be slick and write a package that contains a script
that will figure out what should be installed/removed/upgraded/etc. on
each of the machines where I work. (Using sarge, btw.) I had planned
to do this by listing each of the packages and it's install status in

Hi guys,
I'm playing with the latest debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso. One of the
things I want to do is automate the network configuration process in an
environment where DHCP is not an option. Actually, what I want is for the
debian installer to look up the network settings according

Hello developers, I'm a n00b.

In this repository I've got a custom package that I'm working on that depends
on a bunch of ldap stuff, and contains configuration files and installation
scripts to install and

I'm struggling to wrap my feeble intelect around the debian installation

several statements that I don't understand, and that aren't documented
