I have the debian-cd package installed. I edited the CONF.sh file.
But the documentation didn't indicate how to create a local mirror
of Potato .debs. The system I will be using to create this Potato
CD is a potato system that I installed over the Internet using the
boot disks.
So, what command(s)
k with a stock 2.0.36 kernel. I have a lot of
customizations to make to this box but I'd like to upgrade to latest
potato first.
Any suggestions ??
Thanks.
PS : I have already spent > 6 hours trying to upgrade this box to
potato but apt/dpkg refuses to let me do so. I just hope that its
some
way to do this is:
./configure --site-includes="/usr/include/db1" (rest of the options)
Check the configure script supplied with the app and see what the exact
option is to specify additional include directories (try ./configure
--help), though the --site-includes option is a pre
I am using WDM. BTW, where is this port 1024 specified
for WDM ? Just curious.

I didn't say anything about a "hack attempt" from pavlov on the
auth port, just that I wasn't sure about it. And I wasn't complaining
about it.
In any event, thanks for your most helpful reply.

Thanks for reading the email (if you made it this far!). I definitely

On a somewhat related note : is it possible to view compressed (.gz) files
with pagers like more/less ? I think I remember a thread about this either
on this list or on some linux NG a while back except

I connect at.
One more thing, what scripts have you specified in the .wmppprc

Thanks.

Ok. I'll also check RedHat-5.2 to see what /dev/console points to under
there. Then I'll try symlinking it to /dev/tty1 and see if that solves
my problem. BTW, under RH5.2, I am running kernel 2.2.10 and it doesn't
have this `problem'.
I am curious to know : what are the ramific

It still didn't help me to see the status of shutdown (ie services
being shutdown) without pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7.
Any other suggestions ?

Is there a way to determine if package X is been
installed from the stable or unstable area, using
a combination of apt*/dpkg ?
dpkg --list does not mention what `area' of the
release the package has been installed from.

tedly it was my mistake for not checking at the time if Linux
supported WinModems, and I didn't check that the modem that was
being put in my system was a WinModem or not. After I got the system
I realized that I had a WinModem and that it wouldn't work under Linux.
A case of buyer beware!
