Sed complains (in dh_make and dwww-build) after upgrading to glibc2.1

So yesterday I finally decided to upgrade my machine to glibc2.1. Well, the upgrade of over 70 packages went very smoothly--many thanks, apt developers! Anyway, after upgrading I ran into a problem while running dh_make. Seems it doesn't like some of the sed expressions in there, but I can't fi

Linux hangs when net too used

Hi all! I've been having problems with Linux the last months, but now I have isolated the problem: Linux hangs. 1) I thought it was the kernel but it hangs with 2.0.34, 2.0.35 and 2.2.1 2) Then I thought it was the memory but memtest (package sysutils) says it is OK. 3) Then I thought I was being

COAS 1.0

Hello all, I am wondering if there is someone thinking on using COAS (Caldera Open Administration System, I think) with Debian? It have reached 1.0 stage and I heard good things of it in a LinuxJournal some time ago. Although It is using QT as one of it widgets (and for that reason Debian may not

Re: How can I permentently get rid of the Enlightenment 15 pager?

Peronsally, I compiled it from source and it was fine. There are some RedHat instructions on the site that you can use to determine what order to compile the stuff in. After that, get a book, and do "CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnome" for all of the files. I'd suggest shoving the wh
