As a matter of interest, tar has the '-T news' option which creates
a file system with 'one inode per 4kb block', however, the above
'-i 1024 doubles' that.

What option do I give tar to untar a file into a specific location ?
I've backed up /var; re-formatted the partition, and now I want to
untar things back to /var. I've gone through the manual, but can't
find the right option. (I need something like unzip's '-d exdir&#
eeBSD).
How can I back out and recover from the above, bearing in mind, there's
around 3-4GB of news articles sitting on /var ?

Looking to lease a dedicated server to run Debian.
I see leasing companies mainly offering Redhat Linux, but I'd prefer Debian.

Ah well, many thanks for your help with this. At least I've started to

I've installed this. I *think* I need module aha1542 for my SCSI CDRW.
This module is not available to modconf. Could somebody please help ?

I don't need to build a new kernel. I'm loading the module.

I do not understand your response. I am not seeking to recompile a new
kernel, but I want to make a module available to the kernel.

I believe I need to have the aha1542 module to enable me to use my SCSI
CDRW.
I am using
Linux debian 2.2.19pre17 #1 Tue Mar 13 22:37:59 EST 2001 i686 unknown
Would someone please explain where I can find this module and
how to install it ?
Thanks.

Where do I find 'makemap' to use with Postfix ? What package ?
Looking at an OpenBSD box I have here, the makemap seems
to have come from Sendmail... but I'm not sure.
Thanks.

Would some people give me an opinion on the US Robotics external
56k Message Modem ? Is it suitable for use with Linux.
I've read a few Linux modem resource pages, but a lot of the stuff
is way above my head.
I haven't bought a new modem in a few years, and it's an investment.
I'd *appreciate*
Would someone please advise me what's the best way to upgrade from
2.2r2 to 2.2r3. I haven't really had the chance to use the older
release properly, and I don't see the economic sense of buying
a complete new set of Linux disks.

I've noticed that Linux Mandrake 7.2 is the only Linux distribution

What is Linux Mandrake doing differently, say compared with a recent

How can I configure a mouse for use with Debian ?
I've gone through xf86config and chosen /dev/tty0 but to be
frank, I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to configure thereabouts.
Type 'startx' and no working mouse.

If you want to run a pop3 server on your firewall/gateway comp, you can
use qmail-pop3d (which comes as part of the main qmail tarball).
