Hello people,
I am a relatively new debian user (a couple months), but long time
linux user. I am curious why the new glibc updates are not showing
up when I run apt-get.
I am running potato, have run apt-get update, and also dpkg -l libc6,
but the most recent version it lists is "2.1.3-10".

I have a slink box running on kernel 2.2.17, and I have updated my

Now if I run apt-get dist-upgrade, or anything else apt-get related other

Looks like you might need the bin86 package. (The assembler for x86

Had the same problem. Replaced cdplay with cdcd. Seems there's been a

Hey guys,
I made a new kernel and disabled modules. I load everything I want/need into
the kernel and nothing else. I know there are people that think I should

I'm been running a potato system for some time with 2.2.16. I just
installed the patch for 2.2.17 from linux.kernel.org, ran 'make
oldconfig' and created a .deb with make-kpkg. There were no errors in
this process, although I did notice some warnings I had not seen
before.
The new kernel seems t

Hi world:
I have actually succeeded in loading two different distros on my pure Linux box
(read no M$): Linux-Mandrake and Storm (a debian-based system). The
arrangement seems fine. X/KDE and Gnome all work! The only problem is that I
can't or in Storm.
The reason: can't find the modules.

Hi all,
first of all hello to everybody, because I've been off of this list

Well, my question is about how should I organize my filesystem. I have
now Debian woody in a 1'7 gb hard disk; all the entire disk is mounted
on /, on a single partition.
Now, I will buy a 20 gb h

Hi all!
Last week I made an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and my Netscape
changed from 4.73 to 4.75.
Since then, when I try to open a text file nothing happens. When I try to
open a JPEG or GIF image it uses xv to show the image.
I doesn't like this behavior because when I see a JPEG file and

Hi all,
I seriously believe that this and other debian lists are far better
managed both by users and debian, using NewsGroups
rather than mail lists.
Needless to say the resulting heavy traffic will make the
GPLed newsgroup software(s?) the most matured one.
Hoping to news://news.debian.o

When xmms and mpg123 tries to play an mp3 file, it just skips along and
no sound comes through. The file is not decoded in a stream, it seems
