Hi,
Some packages, among them workbone and symlinks, still provide an a.out
binary in /usr/bin/, but no dependency on libc4 (workbone even depends on
libc5...).

I'm using Smail3.1.29.1 #29.37 from the debian
package install, and having nothing but problems.
Ignoring the earlier file locking trouble, I'm now
discovering that for some reason, the following
occurs:

Hello,
I have a small problem integrating a new debian system into an existing
bad maintained network.
I installed the NIS package, everything so far is ok. ypbind connects to
an NIS-Server, but to the wrong one. So I wanted to connect explicit to
another with the option:

I would first off like to say, that the new Debian Faq is great and has
lots of usefull information. Now that I got that out of the way, here
are the little nit pickings.

Hello there!!!
I have a problem. I have a RedHat CD and installed linux, but i have a
problem with my AHA-2940 in the kernel 1.2.13 (it's not supported)
I get kernel 2.0.0 and compiled it for my system with all common
options:
AHA-2940 support, SLIP, PPP, Networking, TCP/IP, autoload modules etc.
It is looking for libtk, the way debian installs tk won't work with just
-ltk, you need -ltk4.0 or -ltk4.1 depending on which version of tk you
have installed (or which version the program you are trying to compile
requires).
Debian does this so you can have multiple versions of tcl and tk o

I hope this to be my last contribution to this thread, so I'll
try to make it thorough. Sorry about the length.
I will use "must" to indicate that unless we do it that
way, there is going to be problems and the Debian project
will suffer. (No film at 11.) I'm willing to stake whatever

I think we should do the following.
1. Map all high traffic groups / mailing lists linux.xxx to
comp.os.linux.*
2. reorganize the linux.* groups to throw obsolete things out.
3. Make all groups non-moderated. The current setup is a major
speed problem.
