Max; While from what I have seen by following this list for quite a few months now, the list members are rather tolerent of 'off-topic' posting when such postings are still Linux related. However, your problems are not even Linux specific much less debian specific. With a non-debian distributi

RE: dpkg won't remove a kernel-image package

1997-11-08 Thread b.leach
You probably should rebuild the kernel using the debian kernel build package and make kpgk. I am not sure if you would 'get into trouble' just deleting the kernel image, boot and map files by hand or not (the system should boot ok but I am not sure how dpkg would 'feel' about their not being pre

Re: What is the file XF86_NONE??

Yes it is most definately a "hack". You need to edit the file "/etc/X11/Xserver" to properly reflect the "real" xserver that you are using. In your case the first line of that file should be "/usr/X11R6/XF86_SVGA". I am reasonably sure that if you don't do this then any future upgrade to the X

Hi Richard; These were not web BROWSERS he was talking about but web SERVERS. You can not, in anything even remotely resembling a normal system, use two different web servers. Now in fact if you REALLY want to do this you can, in that you could configure (and probably recompile) one of the se
