Then you create a link from wherever you'd like to get it started; I
suggest putting it in /etc/rc2.

Hi,
I'm on one of those DSL lines that will disconnect me at least once a
day, so that I don't have a static IP.
I've set up my box to reconnect immediately, but about five days a week
it doesn't work but requires me to log into the box and 'pon' myself.
Here's a few snipplets from syslog. I look
Hi,
I'm running a woody system with backports of Gnome2 and OpenOffice.
And I noticed that Aptitude has at times a strange way of handling
dependencies.
When browsing the packages, I regularly find unmet dependencies.
Well, not exactly dependencies but packages labeled 'recommended' or

the installed software from a running system. I did as seemingly is

Hello,
Woody's spamassassin (2.20) provides me with a hit rate of about 60%;

Bayes filter, I'd like to have a more recent spamassassin.
But how?
I'm a little shy of installing tarballs -- I'm afraid this would give me

Hello,
after some try-and-error I eventually got printing to work; cups,
foomatic and xpp now work hand-in-hand.
One issue left: my paper size is A4, but xpp won't let me select

Hello,
Trying to set up my printer I came to scratching my head so much that
I'll be bald real soon now.
The device in question is a Laserjet 2100 tn, network adaptor and
