Re: samba problems

About 90% of my /var/log/smb* log files are the line: Added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 It seems that smbd prints this as it starts up. I just don't Possible temporary workaround: run smbd/nmbd as daemons, not from inetd. This means it'll only start up

Re: g77 and gcc-2.7.2.1

I wrote: Similar problem (I think) with GNAT Ada. GNAT 3.04 (and hence the Debian package, and also GNAT 3.05 which is not available as a package) is based on gcc 2.7.2. Until GNAT is updated to be based on gcc 2.7.2.1 and then a pkg of the same released, you have to stick with gcc 2.7.2

Re: How to migrate a Debian system to another hard drive?

Watch out so you don't run into an infinite loop: Suppose that you mount the target disk on /mnt, then cd / tar cf - . | (cd /mnt; tar xvlpf -) would copy some things to /mnt then copy /mnt/* to /mnt/mnt/ and so on. It doesn't. I've been using this a lot lately while reorganising file

dpkg 1.3.10

Where can I download dpkg 1.3.10, or more specifically the new documentation (on package creation etc) in postscript form? I've only found the HTML ones so far. No sign of anything later than 1.3.6 on ftp.debian.org as yet. Thanks, hamish

man crashes

When I try to view a manual page that's located in /usr/local/man, man says it's updating a local index, then gives a segmentation fault. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks hamish

Re: kernel size

I like your suggestion of configuring packages as a separate step. The option in dselect to 'configure remaining unconfigured packages' could handle this, instead of the 'install selected packages' option. In this scenario, the 'install' option would became 'load packages' and all

vfat/msdos depend on fat

I compiled a custom kernel last night, and made fat, msdos and vfat all modules. msdos and vfat depend on fat to operate, and it seems that /etc/modules gets processed later than mounting all file systems; vfat gets inserted before fat, and hence doesn't work. I notice that the precompiled Debian

Has anyone done a package of the bsd games collection? I'm missing hangman since upgrading from slackware ;-) thanks, hamish

debian mirror in Australia

Are there any other mirrors of ftp.debian.org in Australia besides sunsite.anu.edu.au and ftp.debian.org.au? Both of these two seem to be a bit behind with their mirroring, but the link to the US is very very slow lately; looks like it's going to take hours to get the updated manual pages .. :-(
