Many thanks to all those who posted replies to my plea for help. I
downloaded the newer libstdc++2.8_2.90.29-2.deb and installed it. Once
this had been done, I was able to install libc6_2.0.7u-7.1.deb without
problems.
Cheers.

You either need OSS/Linux, which is commercial (www.4front-tech.com) or

If you really want that, the best thing to do is run Apache from inetd.
According to the manpage it can be run that way.

Are you sure that the print command says lpd? It should say lpr. lpr
is the "client" that sends a page to the printer. lpd is the daemon.

I vaguely remember a thread about t
What is a linux dream computer?
I've finally put aside a couple of bucks, and I'm wondering:
What's the ultimate linux computer today? Which video card is the best
(which one does the most, 2d/3d/mpeg/tv; ideal is a 3dfx) ? What sound (3d?;
ideal is an aureal) card?
What laptop is the best deal?
I agree with you Kent. Debian is much too difficult to start out with.

configuration on your part. Later, when you are shooting for "guru-ship"
you can go to Debian and really get into it. Both systems are a

Hi,
I'm looking at buying a new PC sometime soon - I've just seen a *very*
good looking deal for a 350MHz Pentium II system. As usual, my main
compatibility worries are with video and sound cards.
The video card is described by the supplier as an AGP S3 3D card, with a

Pat,
I had the same problem and made the same change. Sorry I didn't recognize
that when you posted your query; I made the change to the hostnames line
in /etc/smail/config more on a hunch than based on actually understanding
what I was doing ;-), and I promptly forgot about it. I had already

I have the same type of CDROM. I used the goldstar cdrom driver (gscd). I
works fine. Try that driver and you should have full access to the CD.
It is possible to use dselect without the the packages file - but I don't

Neither ping, telnet nor smtp or something else works. It's like there is
no network installed. But it is, I, sitting at the computer, can connect to any

How do you print to a remote printer from netscape? When I click on the
"print" button, I get a screen with the print command defaulting to "lpd."
Is there some other place I need to specify which printer in my printcap I
