Try "mount -t vfat" instead of msdos.
Can someone tell me how to enable passwordless ssh under potato? (ssh

This is for the purpose of backups. I have public key of the machine
which is doing the connecting in the backup user's authorized keys file,
and the user that is doing the connecting is in the backup user's .shosts

I am not sure where to complain about this...it probably isn't Debian's
problem, it is probably the new gcc. The newest gcc in potato:
gcc version 2.95.2 19990906 (prerelease)
Seems to be pretty damn buggy. There is a great store of code I have that
compiled under the last one I used:

Well, my mirror appears to have stopped updating about a week ago, so when
I told a few machines to do an apt-get dist-upgrade they all barfed on the
broken bash package. (The mirror had not upgraded my local copy to the

Is there any easy way to recover these things withou

More than I can count. Then again, I only have ten fingers...:)
There are many toolkits for making X apps. A while ago I learned Tcl/Tk,
and really liked Tk
Where are the pthreads man pages for potato? The pthread libraries and
such seem to be in libc6 and libc6-dev. Is this a package bug?

"locate" command. It walks through the entire filesystem, so thats why
the disk runs for so long. :)

I have Debian running on a laptop that I just purchased, and I have ssh
installed. However, since this is a laptop, its not always connected to
the network...is there some easy way to keep sshd from pausing the boot
sequence for 5 minutes if there is no network?

I'd rather not have to set up a web server just to use apt on the local
machines...was that an oversight?

I have a linux cluster (a beowulf), and I want to be able to use rsh with
root to the nodes. I found the "CONSOLE" line in /etc/login.defs and
commented it out. Now root is allowed to rsh in to the machines, but I
can't, for the life of me, figure out how to allow root to rsh in without
a passwd
I was wondering where I should set up the configuration for my second
ethernet card. I have two ethernet cards, both PCI and Tulip chipset,
which are currently detected just fine during bootup.
I set up the ethernet networking like normal during the Debian
installation, and it works fine. What
