I feed off a solaris NIS server for users/groups, except root. There's
a GID=100 conflict, where NIS server says it's 'devel' and
(linux):/etc/group says it's 'users'. Can I safely groupdel users?
I'm running current potato x86 debian.
TIA!

Yes, as a module. I have a scsi adapter (aha2940), scsi cd, scsi hd
and one ide cd-r. So the scsi cd devices were already there and scd0

One thing I forgot to mention is that the machine is running slink &

I posted previously about slow rdump times from linux to solaris. I
later tried dumping a local partition to another partition on the same

tried sending packets from linux to (a pipe to rsh to) solaris and

Dunno if it's true, but I heard that Metrowerks is planning on porting

Yeh. Also, dropping the "vga=ask" part and the "prompt" part would
make it even more generic.

Debian doesn't let you uninstall base packages like libc6 or ldso, and
I don't see a way to force a re-installation of an installed
package. I wonder if

I installed slink onto a tabula rasa i386 PC a few days ago, using

an `apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade`. What I didn't realize, or think
