I'm still fighting with diald to not gnarl the connection over ethernet,
and in the procces, I have managed to make it NEVER touch the ethernet,
so its ok, but now diald doesn't want to dial. which is not ok. is
there anyone out there that is using both a static ethernet network, and
diald?
Did you turn off power managment in the BIOS?

GOOD YEAR everyone,
After host plato is halted, I ping it from another host on the

A Happy New Year, and oh - yes - Happy Bug Hunting! ;)
due to some problems at iconnect, it took quite a while until I finally
got my Debian 1.2 CD, but - now it's here.
I used that CD to upgrade my system at home (from Debian 1.1.8), and
encountered a few problems here - one of which see

alternatively you could use:
rm `find . -name TRANS.TBL`
which would have some advantages regarding speed & system usage, as rm
wouldn't be called individually for each file, but rather once for all
files.

The dpkg manual page says that "dpkg -S" searches installed packages.
That has its uses--but it's useless for finding which package you need
