There is an experimental package called dpkg-ftp which provides "dselect"
with another "installation method" called "ftp". When you install this,
you can select the "ftp" installation me

I've already sent several bits of my printing tale. Here's the whole
story...
I discovered a few problems with apsfilter, as I already reported.
Then I found that dvilj wouldn't take a dvi file from stdin, as
required for automatic formatting so that you can just do

Hello,

Package: apsfilter
Version: 4.9.1-6
apsfilter considers a ljet4 and a ljet4l equivalent after setting the
options to dvips. However if you send raw postscript to it this is a
bug. The patch below corrects this, and a few more small glitches. It
seems the authors haven't used PRINT_DVI very much :-

I have recently upgraded my debian machine from 0.93R6 to 1.1 beta.
I am happy to report that everything, except one important piece, is
up and running and better than before!
I had a few minor problems which have been reported earlier and were
easily fixed:

less is not a base package, so might not be installed. more is one
third the size of less, and it's very important to keep the base
packages as small as possible.

Sorry for the confusion. It turns out that more is not the same as less
on slackware but man automatically uses less without a variable set. I'm
pretty sure it is not using a temp file.
Is there any reason the default PAGER on Debian should not be set to less
out of the box?

I'm having trouble swapping the Control and Caps Lock keys on my
keyboard. I have the following two line file that used to work
with 'loadkeys' just fine:
keycode 58 = Control
keycode 29 = Caps_Lock

First, I want to thank everyone involved with Debian for doing an
excellent job. I far prefer my Debian system at home to my current

Now my question.

You can define $PAGER as something like
"cat >/tmp/$$;more /tmp/$$;rm /tmp/$$" to get the back-scrolling at
the cost of somewhat reduced speed. You won't see the first page until
the last has been formatted (which is why we don't do this by default).

My problem was in the /etc/crontab file. This file apparently
configures root cron jobs in addition to
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root. On another system that I configured
from scratch, the atrun command was input correctly. On this system,
which I configured as an update from 0.93R6, the command

And what's the exact reason for using using '-d'?

Well I didn't think it was easier to install 1.1 instead of 0.93
on my old PC, but if it is I'll try for sure.
Wait for some days and you'll have a complete report of my
work.
Thank you (and all the other) for the suggestions. It was really kind.

So make it 'atrun -d -l 0.5' or just 'atrun -d'. 0.5 is the default
