Why was this? Is there something I need to do to allow rlogin

Chris,
We've just released Debian 1.1 and we removed Debian 0.93 from the FTP
sites. It doens't make sense to stick with 0.93 . I assure you that
1.1 is robust. Please install it, and you'll find that inn is there.
Thanks

i just installed the aout-svgalib-1.28-6.deb package, and noticed it
installs to /usr/i486-linuxaout rather than /usr/lib/i486-linuxaout, so
the system can't find it.
i tried writing the maintainer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), but the host
appears not to exist.
on a side note, has anyone made a doom pack

Hello to all,
I have just changed from Slackware with kernel 1.2.8 to Debian .93 with
kernel 1.2.13 only to discover that it doesn't appear to come with the inn
news server.
After checking out the packages available for Debian, it appears that the
only inn package for Debian is the ELM version.

It's in contrib. A decision was made that packages without source m
When trying to run mc (Midnight Commander) I get:
mc: can't load library 'libgpm.so.1'
Gpm is only listed as suggested under mc. However, since mc won't even
run without gpm, shouldn't mc be changed to depend on gpm rather than just
suggest gpm?

I'd be interested in hearing about what happens when you try them.

Debian 1.1 is available as ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/Debian-1.1 .
I will wait 24 hours for the mirror sites to catch up with the last few
changes, and will then post the public announcement.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the response. Looks like the file I fetched from tsx-11 was

I now have fixed the postinst script so that it first runs a
