I'm using Debian .96 and have a need to change all the files in a
directory from uppercase to lowercase (ftp'ed from DOS). Is there a
quick method or command to do this?

Hi,
My newly installed Debian system doesn't seem to recognize less
standard terminal emulations. For example, Amiga terminal emulation
(export TERM=amiga) is not present.

Hi all,

I just recently installed Debian from the August 96 release of Infomagic's 6 cd
set. This is the best distribution, after trying the others on the cd set.

I am curious: Why hasn't the kernel source/image been updated since 2.0.6?
Also, why is there not a shadow password package? Specifically, one that
fixes problems with xdm and xlockmore?
Thanks.

I second that. I'm using tetex at my debian system without problems.
Does anyone know how teTeX compares with NTeX? NTeX is what I have

How easy would it be to debianize teTeX?

Did you recompile the kernel with PS/2 mouse support?
