hello everyone, i have two problems with my potato system which _really_ get on my nerves.. 1) i use pon/poff for my dialup connection.. the problem with this is that poff somehow doesn't seem to completely close the connection or something because when i try to re-connect with pon nothing happens.. that's also the reason why dial on demand isn't feasible.. i have to repeat poff twice to be able connect again.. i have checked syslog but the last message is pppd: exit.. 2) can someone _please_ tell me why apt-get/dselect rather downloads stuff from the various sites i have set up in my sources.list than ask me for a media change?? gee, i'm on a dial-up connection and i have to pay for that.. why the hell does it download files that i have on my cds just because they're not on the first cd it asked for.. this might not be an issue for most of you people and it doesn't really matter most of the time because one doesn't install a whole bunch of files at the same time very often but it's a bug in the otherwise greatgreatgreat packaging system that drives me _nuts_.. i'd be happy to hear that these things are just due to my stupidity so if anyone has any ideas which would help me solve these issues you'd really make me happy.. :-) thanks in advance, frank. -- fpreut@blinx.de // icq# 49188243 gpg public key: http://people.blinx.de/fpreut/pubkey/gpg-public-key.asc "..doch warum sollte nicht jeder einzelne aus seinem leben ein kunstwerk machen koennen??" michel foucault
