SYSFS and ZIP

2004-07-26 Thread Jason A Whittle
There have been several threads lately about ZIP drives, but none of them appear to address SYSFS problems. While I'm not yet knowledgable about SYSFS, I've been reading up, but I haven't found a solution yet. I was hoping someone here would know at least where I should go to RTFM. The problem

Flow Charts

2004-06-30 Thread Jason A Whittle
I would like to create a large number of small, simple flow charts. I looked at XFig, but ideally I would like to enter all of the relationships and then generate the diagrams for various formats. Following up on the TeX thread, would this be an appropriate application of LaTex? Cheers, Jason

Retroactive apt labelling?

2004-03-05 Thread Jason A Whittle
Is it possible to retroactively label debs as having been automatically installed by apt? I'd like to be able to install package dependencies one at a time, but still use aptitude to keep track of the dependecies for me. I haven't been able to find anything in the apt documentation, but I may s
