web site database backend?

Knowing very little about Linux database options... Is there a way to have a database that accepts data from html forms, but which requires no administration whatsoever on the web server side? IOW a database that the user could put in their own directory structure that they could use, without

dselect trying to remove newer stuff in favor of older stuff

Everytime I mess w/ the sources.list, and go into dselect, it seems to arbitrarily choose a bunch of stuff to install. Well for instance adding "testing" for the first time. I don't even select anything, and then there is this mess of dependency and it ALWAYS wants to remove kdelibs4, libarts1

joy!

I really should have subscribed to this list a long time ago. Thanks again everyone for the help. I've been playing with this Debian box for a little over a month now. I have really gotten frusterated at times, but feel like I'm on top of the world today. Not only did I get my eth0 loading a

upgrade to sid?

If one were to put "deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free" in my sources.list, uh, I mean one's sources.list, then ran apt-get upgrade and watched about 200 packages get upgraded, what exactly would the result be on so and so's previously woody Debian installation?

upgraded kernel, lost eth0

I can mount -t smbfs now!!! Thanks everyone! I do have to modprobe smbfs but I'll figure that out. I ran apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-386 (not sure about that tsc crap on this pentium 200) and it went pretty well. However, when I rebooted I saw a message flash by that said "eth0 devic

apt-get - what is it aware of?

apt-get is completely unaware of things you install or update by hand? It only knows about apps that were installed/updated using apt-get (or dselect or dpkg)? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

sources.list syntax

I think I've read the usual docs on sources.list. But I still don't get it. Everytime I put something in there by hand it searches all kinds of places under the main url that I find unpredictable. 3/4 times now it did not find the file I was trying to point it at. If there is a .deb file somewhe
