I got sold on Debian after reading today's discussion on slashdot.
However, there doesn't seem to be anything in the Debian web site about
how one goes about installing from ftp. It only tells me that it is
possible. So what disk images, etc. do I need?
Thank you in advance,
Chris Gray

Hi,
ip-up is a script running scripts in the directory /etc/ip-up.d using the
run-parts command.
My problem was that would not run my scripts. I have now looked at the
run-parts docs, and have found out tha my scripts can not contain .'s in the

Hello,
is there anything like run-parts that would run all the scripts at the same
time, and then wait for all of them to finish?
I wouldn't mind having most of my ip-up.d run together - I suspect there's
a lot of time spent idle waiting for protocol negotiation to go through...

I think the decision to make their own Debian-ized distribution is

lot of the decision was based upon the high potential of apt.

Hi all,
Having solved my previous problems, I'm having problems with
g_print - it always blocks. The following code compiles fine, but when the
button is pressed, the thing just hangs, and has to be kill -9ed. Any

Last week I upgraded one of our machines from hamm to slink. Today I
