Ahhh, not true! bo is all libc5 and hamm is libc5 & libc6.
I cant take the latest gimp, tripwire etc. without adding libc6 (which I
don't want to do yet.)

So I have to download the package source and the diff and compile it myself... 
This not a problem but just a pain. I would like to see upgrades in both
libc5 and libc6. Until libc6 is standard that is (ie not unstable).
I know this is a lot of work, so I'll just hush now

(non-debian) PPP question.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-


I have two different modems that I make PPP connections with. Is there a
way to force them to us the same network interface every time?

serial-ppp1 uses ppp0
  ISDN-ppp2 uses ppp1

every time? I use mrtg to track traffic and the interfaces flip around.

Thanks!

Got this error yesterday, It filled the console and the machine was

I booted to a resq partition and e2fsck the disk (a few errors 1 major one)
and remade the swap partition.

any clues what did it? The machine was up for 12 day uptime at that point.

True, But any external 56k(flex|X2) modem should work fine. Make shure you
have a good serial board to support the full speed the modems can give
you. I you have an older mother board that is. :)

I use bru 2000 and I am _very_ happy with it.
I also us cpio to copy my whole filesystem(/) to a different partition

You could get by with cpio but I like the tape verify and features of bru

getting latest .debs

[Udjat the BitMeister...]

latest tripwire on ftp.debian.org

   Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
   debian:...istributions/debian/non-free/binary> ls trip*

   tripwire_1.2-4.deb

I know there have been updates of this package but I cant ftp to
master.debian.org to get them anymore (annon access denied!)

When can I get to the latest tripwire*.deb files?

Thanks!
