Still don't know what exactly happened though.
It seems that the reason for bind not working out of the 1.3-box for me,

I forgot to mention the following: I let the install script change my

I've upgraded a box to frozen and that broke a working bind

Hi,
On my home lan I have a couple of machines that I am currently using to

Because I don't want to have to download all the packages that I want to
