Something I've never known how to do?!?!
Say I've installed Etch (which looks as good as Ubuntu BTW) on to a PC - and
I then need to install a new graphics card and a DVD burner.

Hi,
In the office here we have an XP laptop, MAC with OSX and my main Debian
workstation.
This is on a static IP address which is connected to via two Netgear
routers.
The DG632 connects to the ADSL.
An FVS318 which acts as a main VPN/firewall router which connects to the
DG632 - and the LAN co

Hi,
I'm getting the following from a vanilla install of sarge.
Any pointers gratefully received - obviously I want to be careful and not
screw up the dpkg system.

By the looks of your lsmod, ide-cd grabbed the CD-ROM

If it were me, I'd fire up ethereal and take a look at what
fetchmail was doing. If eth0 only shows tunneled packets,
point it at ppp0.

I didn't find it that difficult. Create /etc/apt/preferences
and put this in it:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 1001
and of course change (or add ?) sou

I recently upgraded a couple machines running unstable, which I guess
picked up X 4.3.0. Now, neither can do hardware 3D rendering. (Yes,
they could before the upgrade.) One has an old 3dfx using DRI, one a

Debian-unstable (and kernel 2.4.24) don't seem to recognize my CD-RW
drive (a Sony CRX216E apparently.) The machine has a SCSI drive on an
LSI controller, and the CD-RW drive is apparently the master on the
