How to rsync unstable?

2002-11-07 Thread Bill Wagner
Does anyone have a script or something with which one can rsync a particular release (in my case, I'd like to keep a local mirror of unstable). Thanks in advance! Bill -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm building apache2 with mod_ssl support, but during the 'configure' process, it reports: --- checking for SSL/TLS toolkit base... /usr checking for SSL/TLS toolkit version... OpenSSL 0.9.6c 21 dec 2001 configure: WARNING: OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.6e have known security holes checking

Loading kernel modules

2002-10-01 Thread Bill Wagner
One of my boxes uses the eepro100 kernel module for its network interface. As I migrate more from Red Hat based boxes, the more I like Debian. But one thing that is really getting me is that this kernel module is not getting loaded when the machine comes up. At least in a RH based distro, I wou

What's wrong with tasksel?

2002-09-22 Thread Bill Wagner
When I run tasksel (this is on testing/unstable) as root, I get this: juan:~# tasksel No tasks found on this system. Did you update your available file? If I do a 'tasksel -a', I get the menu, I select what needs to get selected, but it just says that it doesn't have anything to do: Reading Pac

2002-09-22 Thread Bill Wagner

How to get $DISPLAY

2002-09-19 Thread Bill Wagner
I'm new to Debian but have found I like it enough so far to replace four of my existing Mandrake machines with it. One of the machines is a test box that's headless into which I ssh. I'd like to export my display onto my desktop, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what packages I need to
