G'day All,
A very special THANKS to all those who've helped me get started with
debian. Unfortunately I don't have the time to cope with the quantity of
mail on this list so I'm off to find a quieter one. Thanks again,
Lindsay

G'day Antonio,
I don't know much about apache but this may be your problem. My isp like
many blocks port 80 so you can't host web sites on the cheap. The usual
way of working around this is to use a higher port like port 5000 the
https port xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5000 then on your router redirect port 500
G'day all,
I want to install Courier mailserver for POP and IMAP behind an already
installed and configured Postfix. Do I apt-get install just courier-imap
and courier-pop or should I install the lot somehow as I want the man
pages etc also configuring with debconf would be nice :-).

G'day Alex,
I found the installer great but while I'm new to linux I've been using
PC's since about 1982. It would probably be very helpful to the
developers if you could be more specific about the information you think
is lacking.
Did you read the installation howto?

G'day all,
This morning I recieved an invoice from the isp who handles my
mail/website, he's increased his fees by 200%. This is only a hobby
thing so I can't justify spending that much for redirection & masking.
I'd like (have to) to take over the administration myself. I'd like a

I would like to install my printer using the default debian utilities
(lpr, lpd) without using tasksel as this installs 100Mbs+ of "stuff".
Would some kind soul point me in the right direction please as I'm
googled out.

G'day Dave,
I'm a newbie at linux but you should be able to sync with an ntp (time)
server, the debian docs or a google search should tell you how.

G'day Bob, Patrick, others,
Thank you for your reply but cups seems rather bloated and fickle,I
wanted the one installed by the default debian tasksel option is that
lpr, lprng or gnulpr? or is one of these or another rather nice &
compact and sufficient?

Is it lpr, lprng or gnulpr? also how can I determine what packages are

G'day all,
What is the standard printer configuration tool used by debian 3 r0. I'm
trying to install a printer but the documentation is not helping me at
all. If I could find the config tool name that'd be a start, perhaps
then the Printing HowTo will make more sense.

Should I loose the image of my OS (which is separate from the RAID1 set)
could I reinstall debian to hda (a non-raid disc) the add the

Perhaps all that's needed is a help option [F1} with layman descriptions???

G'day Bob/others,
Not sure where the brain was as /home would be mounted under /root.
Let's test that when I started /home was under /root, I just mounted /home
on md0, when I rebooted it was empty! Why? ... because there was no /home on
md0 in the first place so mount must have created a new /hom
G'day Bob,
THANK YOU!
I'm rather angry I didn't think of mount as I've just read the man today :-(
df looks interesting, I'll read that man, mounts is a file i presume so I'll
have to google that for info.
Thx again,
Lindsay

G'day all,
I have or will have in a few minutes (I hope):
hda1: /boot
hda2: /
hda3: swap
md0:/home
My question is: If hda fails and I replace it, reinstall debian then umount
/home from / then mount /home on md0 the system will be restored and I'll
have access to my old /home directory,
The debian tutorial has some omissions.

I'm surprised to hear that. I'm a relative newbie to linux and chose debian
