[tslug] Debian mirror

2003-03-21 Thread Donald J Bindner
I have decided to discontinue my "personal" Debian mirror, in lieu of the "full mirror" that I have been running. They were largely redundant in any event. What that means for you, if you were using my mirror in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, is that you should now only include one vh224401 li

In case you happen to be a Vi fan and use bash, I have what I think is a pretty nice set of bindings to use with bash's Vi editing mode. (Just press escape and do the Vi editing you use every day.) Check it out at: http://vh224401.truman.edu/~dbindner/mirror/ -- Don Bindner <[EMAIL PROTECTED

Seeing all the interest in Debian, I thought it might be time to run a full mirror of the i386 files (I wish I had know before the install-fest, I could have had it set up ahead of time). Anyway, I have what should be a complete archive of i386 for the potato/woody/sarge/sid versions of Debian.

Sounds like you just had a round of bad luck. As for re-installing, I would probably give it a go if it were my computer. You might use a partitioning tool to remove the reiser partitions and then recreate them. Presumably the gentoo install has a partitioning step, where you could do that. Yo
