Hi folks--
I'm trying to clean out extraneous and old files from the system
directories. I have some scripts to short out which files are known to
the current Debian configuration and which are not. Many of the "are
not" files came from earlier versions of currently installed packages.
For
I kept digging; here's a script reporting modified .conf files.
dpkg-query -W --showformat='${conffiles}\n' | gawk '{print $2 " " $1}'
| md5sum -c
It's only a partial solution, but it helps and resolves (2) below.

My configuration has ~1500 files in /etc and its subdirs and ~1100 .conf
files listed in /var/lib/dpkg/status. I'd like to sort things out and
clean up some of the cruft.

Folks--
Its time to repartition my disks. The plan is to:
1. Put all the user data I want to keep onto tape
2. Install debian from scratch (including repartition)
3. Restore .deb package database
4. Re-fetch current .debs
5. Restore user data and configuration data.
My questions are:

I tried installing mozilla with disastrous results. It refused to

Hey folks--
I need some help setting up an Xserver on an older Mac.
The machine is a stock PowerMac 8500 with 172MB memory and has a clean
woody install.
Does anyone have an XFree86Config for this such a machine?
There's likely to be other stuff which needs tweaking as well.
Thanks--

I've got a new powerpc woody system up and running, but I cant compile
because
...cannot exec 'as': No such file or directory.
Contents-powerpc tells me the assember should be part of
devel/binutils. I've installed binutils-2.11.92.0.12.3-6 but still no

Well, I've been trying to bootstrap woody on an Powermac 8500.
I've managed to make it through most of the connection / malformed

The packages are all downloaded, validated and extracted, but...how do I
