None of these are directories but they are older than them thar hills.

This is the contents of the "alpha" but they all look similar to this:

alias block-major-2 floppy

alias char-major-4 8250
alias char-major-5 8250
alias char-major-6 lp
alias char-major-10-130 wdt
alias char-major-10-131 wdt
alias char-major-14 soundcore

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc

One good news: Using "dep" does work again. My bug conderning that was closed 
because of alleged cause by my original knoppix installation. None of his 
packages are still in use.
