Dear all,
can anyone give me any help on how to reactivate PHP with Apache 2.2.3
in Debian unstable?
I have tried php4 and php5 packages of Debian, set the respective
symlinks to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled and, yes, I restarted apache
about a hundred times during the last night :¦

A better question might be, when did it disappear? Certianly before the
release of woody. If you can find the release of Debian that removed it,
if it ever existed, I'll happily go back and look up the rationalle for
removing it.

Over the years, I've thought of lots of them (here's three):

but why is /usr/bin/grep not there now? /usr/bin/

That was in the installed ~/.vnc/xstartup file which started

Probably harmless but I commented it out.

Hey list,
I'm thinking of buying an 80G removable external USB hard disk and
installing debian on it. Is this doable? If it is, are there any
limitations on installing multimedia packages on it?
Thanks a lot in advance!

matches my processor features:
linux-image-2.6.17-2-686 - Linux 2.6.17 image on PPro

Hello,
In Debian Etch, kernel 2.6.17, are options given in /etc/modules to
