If you properly disable cups via update-rc.d, the service is not run via
invoke-rc.d. I've just tested this on my system.

One option would be to install and use systemd. Afaik with systemd,
one can use socket-based activation: that is, systemd listens on the
socket that your daemons will use and only starts those daemons if
something connects. You may need to manually configure that behaviour,

Thanks for the information, Jon. I hadn't realis
First and foremost, double check that your SATA cables are properly
secure.
Install smartctl and run smartctl -a /dev/$disk0 (where $disk0
is e.g. sda); check to see if any of the various SMART attributes
indicate a problem.
Run a short, then a long SMART self test
smartctl -t short /dev/$disk
Good morning ,
I need to install a USB3 card in a Dell Precision, running a stock Squeeze
install. Any that I should avoid, or issues I should be aware of? I see
there are some hits on the list, but most appear to be in Spanish and I am

Good morning all,
I have a Dell Precision desktop with two disks and a built in RAID 1 controller
that I am not using. I originally tried to install Wheezy on disk0 but ran
into issues with my video card, so I installed Squeeze on disk1 so I could
be up and running. I eventually went back and ins

Take a live CD with same architecture as your currently machine.

chroot is one solution ... i think you need to do that from knoppix live
cd if the architecture is the same as your machine ; knoppix is i386 so
If your machine is i386 or amd64 with mutiarch will work
boot the live cd
