How can I more/less stderr? A couple of programs I use (e.g.

I don't think so. Loop works fine on my 2.4.1. I made a hasty
downgrade from 2.4.2 after reading your original post and seeing the
problem for myself (need loop for my daily cdr burnings).
Interestingly I used my kernel config for 2.4.2 to recompile my 2.4.1.

Thanks to e
I have a bunch of files I want to rename from .html to .htm. Is there I way to
rename them all at once?
I remember from my DOS days a command like "ren" (or is it "rename"?) that
would do the trick. Something like:
ren *.html *.htm
What's the Linux equivalent of this trick? mv only renames files
But doesn't Package.gz contain the md5sum of all the .debs under the directory
it's in? I see a line in Package.gz (after decompressing) that reads something
like:
MD5sum: 7513d28d6ddde80706727944e9732c2c
Doesn't apt-get check this line before installing stuff?

I read somewhere about somebody's problems with xcdroast. My problem is even
simpler (stupider?) I can't get cdrecord to work under debian.
Here is some of the info I have been able to gather about my current setup.

I've installed multiple Linuses in combinations like Mandrake + Debian,
Mandrake + Storm, Redhat + Debian. The biggest problem for me was the module
loading. modprobe produces error messages about not finding the module to be
loaded.
But this may be because in LILO I installed Debian as just anoth
Maybe it's because you're using woody. Potatoes should be more edible :)

I'm also using "a cheap S3 Savage4 based AGP card" and it works for just south
of fine. Note however that I'm not a gamer and all the graphics I do is GIMP
(the default potato version). I use the SVGA server for it (available on the
install CD). No crashes thus far here.

I had tried ftp'ing from /debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/. It contains
far too many files to fit on a CD. And it doesn't contain the boot images and
other non-.deb stuff.
So how did I finally get my bootable CD? I (ahem)

I use pavuk. URL: http://www.idata.sk/~ondrej/pavuk. I think you can also

Daunting installation? I totally disagree. Debian is the easiest console mode
installation I have ever seen (Win 3.1, Redhat 5.something, etc.).
The difficult part for me was creating the bootable CD. Once I figured out the
queer directory structure, it was as simple as flopping the CD on the driv
Hello Jaye,

Well I guess I may have shared a partition or two. I'm not sure what exactly you
mean by "same root partition." But here's the [annotated] view from
Mandrake.

Now how did you manage to install FOUR different distros? I tried installing
two (Mandrake + Storm, a debian derivative). While I was able to run stuff like
Gnome (practically the whole bunch I guess), I ran into module loading problems.
My Storm installation kept looking for the Mandrake modules.
I don't know if it's a key-binding thing. But on my system the combination for
console switching is Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc.
