Hi,
After quite some time, I'm happy to announce a new release of pypt-offline.
Some of the quick features are:
* Offline Bug Report support - Users can now also have information about what
packages contain bug reports. [Debian Only]
* Colored Output - Full colored output. [ Support on Windows
I've had this problem for a while. When booting Debian Lenny, and perhaps Etch
as well. When booting up I've had the following output trying to access
224.0.0.251.

Hi,
I am struggling to make hibernation work on my ASUS laptop
(Unfortunately I do not know the exact model number, it was from the L
series, I reckon).
I've decided to use the suspend-to-disk method and use the swap
partition (/dev/hda3) for this end. I use stock kernel version 2.6.22.
