Is it possible to convert a debian source package to a tar ball?

Hi, I've been reading the man pages on dpkg & dpkg-deb to find out if it's possible to covert the deb source directory: foo-x.y.z.orig debian-dir with all the patches upstream-source-dir to a source tar ball with all patches applied? dpkg & dpkg-deb man pages talk about build ru

Anyone successful with Sun's Java 1.3.1_01?

Hi, After having my fill of pop-ups in galeon & mozilla stating I have no java plug-in I tried to get said plug-in. First, Netscapes accursed site, where the plug-in is, doesn't like galeon or mozilla. Usually I couldn't get it to start the download and if it did start after unpacking I got an

Support for Adaptec 39160?

Hi, Attempted to try Hurd tarball and everything was fine until Hurd attempted to access root partition during its boot phase. It couldn't find it. I'm guessing the aic7xxx driver is an older one with no support for the 39160 dual controller? thanks, scott [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: laptop hot swapping

ll the PnP event register periodically. This is what Win95 does. When a device change message comes through(insertion/removal) go out and load/re-load the driver and setup the nodes, etc. I've been too lazy to learn linux kernel programming to do this;) Dell probably uses a similar PnP mechanism.
