IMAP help

Hi, I've used imap on a redhat system and it keeps the mailbox file under /var/spool/mail intact, which allows me to switch between an IMAP client and using PINE. I installed the debian imapd package, and although it does keep the mailbox file _somewhere_ because old messages still are retrievabl

savelog with "immediate" compress

Hi, I want to use savelog but I need the option that the .0 file created gets compressed immediately... Can savelog do that? Thanks Ricardo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: savelog with "immediate" compress

Yes, thank you. However, that would cause the "useless" creation of the .0 file because it will be nearly empty... :( each savelog would take up 2 files. Anyone used the "logrotate" program (redhat has it) Thanks Ricardo On Sun, 5 Oct 1997, Joey Hess wrote: > Debian Li

easiest way to upgrade?

Hi, what's the easiest way to upgrade packages, specially if there have been some security updates and we're not sure of what should be upgraded? For example, from a baseline 1.2 install, how can I retrieve updated packages and install them without having to know exactly which ones are necessary?

How to use dpkg -b ??

Hi guys, I've grabbed the source files for a package (.diff.gz, .dsc, .tar.gz) but now I don't know what to do ;) I thought the process was to use dpkg -b but that didn't work. How do I go about it? I need to customize some of the .h files, then I'd like to build the package... Can someone help

Re: How to use dpkg -b ??

make mods to the source, tar it up again, and then build the package? I'm fuzzy as to what the procedure would be in order to customize a package. If I make changes to the original source, wouldn't that invalidate the diff file? thanks Ricardo On 18 Nov 1997, Ben Pfaff wrote: &

Hi, How can I make a bootable diskette that has a minimal root filesystem on it (maybe just mount, cp, ps, e2fsck, /etc and probably no networking)?? I know how to make a bootable disk by copying the kernel and using rdev, however I don't know how I'd place a root filesystem on the diskette. Thi

Epson Perfection 1670 Photo and SANE
