Hi,
I just crasht my system working on libsafe and hat to boot from CD.
I the discovered that the woody CD (linuxtag prerelease) doesn't
boot. I heard of similar for the real woody release CDs on irc.
Can anyone boot the CDs, which one of the set and what hardware?
Same if you can't boot.

Why is it on per default when compiled in?

Hi,
I want to use start-stop-daemon to start the debian-mirror script if
its not already running. I don't trust the script, so I run it as user

Whats the right[tm] way for this?
root:~% start-stop-daemon -S -m -c mirr

is needed to keep an uptodate
