Ok... so what's RPM? Anyone know? Any lessons to learn here? Or
people to cooperate with?

The pppd executable needs to have the setuid bit set when it is installed.
Otherwise you get the kind of errors listed below at the end.
These lines in the ppp.deb source pppd/Makefile are correct, but somehow they
aren't percolating into the right actions in the Deb
Package: adduser? miscutils?
Version: adduser (1.94-1), miscutils (1.3-2)
If I run adduser, and then decide to abort after having been presented
with the password prompt, I can't do it with ^C. passwd apparently
ignores ^C, and ^D simply produces another passwd prompt. Presumably
I would have to
The MIME presentation worked OK with my mail user-agent, EXMH. It was a good
deal more ugly and clunky than if you had simply embedded the URLs for the
same files in your message. EXMH would have recognized and highlighted the
URLs, and if I clicked on them it would have started Netscape to follow
I think we could use tar man page from Slackware. The only problem:
it has no copyright on it. Is this the reason for not including it
in Debian?

Perhaps I missed something but I thought that the msdos.o module should be in

The default tty permissions in xterm are still 622. They should be

This mechanism, while it might be convenient for some people, looks
very noisy for people without mime support.
I'd recommend that there be a new mailing list to support this kind of
traffic.
Also, there'd need to be some kind of convenient mechanism for
developers without intrinsic mime support
The patch which replaces the %40c format with %39s sometimes doesn't
do the right thing: if the command name contains whitespace, it will
be truncated (according to the scanf man page, the %s format "matches
a sequence of non-white-space characters"). I suggest to apply the
patch below.
BTW, this
Last week I asked for comments about using MIME-compliant e-mail messages
as a mechanism for users to downlaod Debian packages. Here's an example
using the hello package as the target.
I used mailto(1) from the metamail package to create this message. No
changes where needed to mailto or any of
I had a elf-compiled version of gnuplot Sorry I forgot. I was cleaning up
my system and elf had to go for now. After that gnuplot didn't work anymore.
I had another version indeed.

This is odd. It seems your version is different than mine. Are you
sure you really have version 3.

If I start up dselect, choose "select", and hit return without making
any changes, I wind up with the following screen. I am not able to
fathom the purpose of this screen, nor am I particularly interested in
removing these packages from my system. [Of course, it's pl
