No matter what I do, I can never get Debian to power down a machine on
shutdown. It doesn't work with the stock kernel, doesn't work with all
the different kernels I've compiled (and I've tried every permutation of
the apm kernel options). But other distributions - or OSs - installed

If I compile a deb-src package and install it, "apt-get upgrade" will
over-write it with the precompiled version unless I mark my hand-rolled
package as "hold". What am I doing wrong?

A problem shared gives the consolation that some
Debian doesn't put .bash_profile in for root. I want to put one in to
extend root's path. Putting my own .bash_profile means putting in the
path in full, since bash doesn't do roots path if there's a
bash_profile. Is there anything else that would be missed out if I were
to put in a .bash_profil

How advisable is it to include unstable apps in my
set-up. If I wanted, for example, to run a stable
installation - but with gnome 1.2 from the unstable list
- would that cause me problems?
What I don't know is whether the unstable packages

Just installed Potato onto my work laptop and it's mostly working great
but there's one odd thing which, since I've never used Debian before,
I'm not sure is an error or a feature.
All the user runlevel directories, /etc/rc1.d/ through to /etc/rc5.d/,
have exactly the same contents and they're all
