The tarball is just a pack of .deb files for the individual applications in
the suite, which have a non-obvious dependency order. It would have been nice
to include an installation script, but lacking that, I simply went to the
untarred directory and ran
dpkg -i *deb
Works well f
or individual files by running:
$ dpkg-query -S filename
In the same way, you can list filenames included in a package with
$ dpkg-query -L package

I'm with Paul on this. Using this list to test whatever it is you're testing
is abuse, and the fact that you state that it should be ignored does not
change that. Please desist.

t interface only allows communication
between a shell and a service running on the *same computer*. Anyone able to
exploit a localhost service would have already owned your machine some other
way.
Second, netstat is the command that should help you determine definitively
which service is li

configuration files in the /etc directory.

Yes, it is. For a Gtk based burning application, take a look at Brasero. wodim
is very easy to use, though, and the man page contains examples of most use

Try this link:

Any
an see for yourself by creating a
dummy account and locking its password:
# passwd -l dummy-account
Now, look at /etc/shadow. You will see a "!" character in the password hash
field. All it does is set the password hash to an exclamation point. Since
this is not a valid hash, no po
hings the same way you started them the first time. If you use startx, then
you'd have to run that again.

terminal is respawning too

the getty applications well enough to figure out what to do next.

Have a look at partimage. Specifically you might be interested in the
CloneZilla live distro. It's built specifically for the purpose of porting
installations between hard disks.

It's very fast, but last time I used it, it had quite a few hiccups when
loading dynamic pages.

In other distros I've used, OOo is skinned to fit in with the rest of
the desktop. I'm trying to replicate this with Debian, but not
finding much in the way of how to do this.
The OOo man page indicates that programs in the suite can be run with
the "--widgets-set" option, but I can't figure ou
