I'm setting up a "just in case" replacement mailserver for my domain and my local network. I'm using Debian Jessie, because the latest instructions for setting the mailserver (qmail) are written for Jessie. The mailserver has 2 NICs (one for local network, and one for Internet). In the past,

Seems to me like a shell script using the tr command will do what you want. Here is a web site with (not the exact, but close) code that you need to solve your problem. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-use-linux-unix-tr-command/ Mark On Monday 04 January 2010 06:19 am, RogerV wrote: > I've

I'm running Lenny-amd64. I set up virtualbox-amd64 from their deb. Works fine, butI have a network printer (HP Officejet Pro 8500) at 192.168.1.32 which is within my local network. The install of virtualbox sets up a network on the 10.x.x.x network for access between the guest OS and the

Wrong identification of a USB flash drive.

This is in the category of P.A.T. (Petty Annoyances and Tedium) but I still would like to know why it is happening. That knowledge should tell me how to fix the problem. My system is Lenny 5.02, but the same problem exists on an old Fedora Core 3 system, so it is not a Debian problem, per se.

Error loading operating system

Hi, I just installed Lenny on a new SATA disk in my AMD64 system (4 Gig of ram). I manually partitioned the SATA disk: sda1 /10Gb sda2 /usr 10Gb sda3 /var 10 Gb sda5 swap 1 Gb sda6 /tmp 1 Gb sda7 /home the rest of the driveabout 456 Gb and the installer formatted it for me.

This concerns the 5.02 amd64 DVD #1 Yesterday I downloaded the debian-502-amd64-DVD-1.iso file from debian.org's site. It was 4.4 Gb, but it failed sha1sum verification, so today I again downloaded it, but it is now 2.0 Gb and again fails sha1sum. I have now downloaded the same file-- debian-
