I just migrated from Slackware 8 to Debian Woody. In Slackware, in order to
synch my Palm Tungsten T2 I upgraded to the 2.4.25 kernel and
module-init-tools 3.0. In Woody, I did the same thing, using the same
kernel config file when building the kernel, and even installed the latest
hotplug

Hi,
I have an old dual 133mhz pentium server (64mb ram, ~8Gb scsi harddisk) with
slackware 9.1 installed. Before I chose slackware, I pondered for a while whether
to install debian or slackware. I've also used RH 7.2.
I've become a little unstaisfied with slackware for a few reasons:

I'm getting into this discussion late. Slackware 8 is extremely easy to
install and configure off the CD set. It's the best example of generic
Linux from my config point of view. I did have some issue with
partitioning the disk with lots of partitions which I favor.

Hello list,
We are planing to develop a next-generation server appliance as our
product. We used to develop from slackware 7.0 as the old version with
16MB DOM on it. However, we hope to use hard disk drive in the next
generation product.
Now, I am wondering if it is wise to change from slackware

Danie is absolutely right. I'm pasting in from the HOWTO:
12.7 Installing DPKG
We don't install the Debian Package manger itself, but a small program that
is shipped with this package; the start-stop-daemon program. This program is
very useful in boot scripts so we're going to use it.

Creating a new file sy
ne of the steps in the
installation will overwrite your partition(s) with new content
unless you skip parts of the process. In short, just do your
installation and it should overwrite your Slackware installation
with no problems.

So, when removing Slackware it is not necessary
to format the drive? What will happen to slackware? Will it just be
replaced by Debian? Or will it just install side-by-side to
Slackware.

I am very new to LINUX so I apologize for the insignificance
of this question. I have Slackware installed on my computer and want to
get rid of it so I can install Debian 1.3.1 rev. Is there a LINUX
equivalent to the DOS format command or is there some special process I need to
follow in

I've figured out enough of where everything is to get the web server running,
and it indeed comes up with the pages correctly. However, I don't have the
tool type of file working for some reason. Instead of executing, their text
merely loads. And these are generally suid scripts; these are t

Well, if you wanted to export part of your drive (say /usr) to another
machine so t
, 2, 3, and then you got to cycle
randomly between 4 (install) and 5 (configure).
(*here's a difference between slack and deb: in slackware you configure
the package before installing it, in debian you install it and then
configure it. Okk, in slackware you config, make, install, config,
config

Hello ALL,
I have just joined this list. Hello to all you debian people.
I have just received my debian 1.3.1 CD and have had my
first try at installing it. ( Well it failled sob .. more on that later )
I have been running Slackware for several years now. However
I am no expert. I
Try unpacking the package, tarring up the result, and moving it to the
slackware system that way. If it doesn't work, you might have to
run autoconfig and build it from source under slackware.
Be sure the /var/lib/dpkg directory gets bootstrapped with something
sensible.
