Probably created for convenience, in line with the /etc/hostname.
The /etc/hostname file has no purpose but to store the hostname to be
then read by the 'hostname'

Ahm, what exactly are you looking for?

That is just the way I have done it, too. But someone - I think it was

Hello.
I have to install the kernel from a "kernel CD"
of the official CD set of Debian GNU 1.3.1 distribution.
How do I do it? I have to install it to recompile it
to support my soundcard. Any suggestions?
Have a Nice Christmas!

Hi All!
I'm just wondering if someone is "debianizing" the XCircuit program
(http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/xcircuit).
It is a very nice schematic editor for X.
Is it difficult to convert such a program into a debian package?
TIA

I used to use diald to auto-connect from home.
At school, I have an ethernet line, so I just unlinked

There is a file /etc/resolv.conf, and it has a "domain" and "search"
part, it should contain your domain name, i.e. the tl

Nice page, I don't ever put the dev in my route add -host 111.222.333.444

you might want to go into, eth0 being the first ethernet card, and some
ppl may want it on eth1, and how to create multiple aliases with eth0:2,
eth0:3, etc.
other than that sounds great to me!!

I have begun upgrading my system to libc6 and am now wanting to upgrade
xlib6 to xlib6g. Neuther dpkg nor dselect will let me do this. I forced
the install without success - it installed but did not configure
properly. After fixing that I thought a bit of advice might help :-)
Any suggestions?
