Hello,
I wander if there is any work being done to make Debian packages
easier to manage and to fine-tune.
What I'm thinking about is something like SGI's "inst" tool.
SGI's tool provides, for each package (e.g. X11) a list of sub-packages
which may be selected from it, things like:
x11.motif.m

Come to think of it, my system doesn't think there are ANY manual

Currently the default pager on my system is 'more'.
I want to change it to 'most'.
How should I do that?
Also, does 'man' use the default system pager. If not, how do I change it
(I don't want to use the -P command line option every time I use man)?
Thanks for any help,

Hello,
I've just upgraded (or tried to upgrade) the rest of my packages to
Debian 1.1. and noticed that sendmail 8.7.5-4 still contains QMAGIC
binaries.
Does anyone know if this is intentional or should I report it as a
bug?

I think the last time we discussed this on the mailing lists, we
decided that there was no problem with compressed man page source.
The decompressor runs quickly, the man browsers all understand .gz
files, etc. I think that it's OK for packages to start installing
compressed man pages.

That's "samba". There's also "smbfs". Samba provides file and printer

Hi there,
It's my understanding that this LAT is sort of like a Chat setup. If you want
to connect to an NT network, I would suggest using the Simba package. There is
a real good article on it in this months Linux Journal. I'm no Expert on this,
but it sounds like the way to go to me.
Yours,
