The patches contain actual lines of gated code. So the advice on that
appears to be "be careful". However
Howdy folks!
I've been experiencing a problem booting newer kernels on a system

Hello all!
On our Sun network we have a program called 'des' for encrypting
and decrypting files. Is this same des program available for
Debian? I know I could use things like pgp, etc.. but, we already
have des on the rest of the network so I would like the same
on my Linux box.
Cheers!

I'm not commenting on anything but this line. IMO this may be a

Debian users can install X11R6 from a series of Debian packages.
They are in section "buzz/binary/x11" or "buzz-fixed/binary/x11"
at any Debian mirror. You need xlib*.deb, xbase*.deb,

Hi,
I am installing debian linux from CDROM.
My CDROM is panasonic CR-562 CDROM. I select
the "sbpcd" module. Is that correct? When the system
boots, the busy light in CDROM flashes. But when I use
"dselect", it ask me the block device name. How do I answer it?
And when I use "mount" command, it

Yes, that is true. And I would suggest everyone who starts with Linux to use

Does anyone know if PS/2 mouse support is compiled into the kernel
supplied with Debian 1.1.2? If not, how can I get it? I don't

I don't mean to sound sstupid, but do I install X11R6 like I do for
other distributions..or is it in a .deb package?
I have installed X11R6 before (3.1.2D/E). are there any bugs
or peculiarities that I should be aware of?
Are there other common freeware items that are not in packages?
thank you
