Hmm. What's the source for determining what's in potato, woody and sid?

It's for overriding stuff :). As I remember the docs, they said
something
about CD vendors. Allows them to make changes. Might be important for
CD1
vs. CD2, etc. Might enable them to include/remove things, e.g. crypto
packages.

a thousand thanks man. it worked. though i made a mistake initially in
creating
the directories first whereas i should have let the mda create it.
i was able to move my default spool from "/var/mail/<user>" to
"~/Mail/inbox/"
using a symlink from "/var/mail/<user>" to "~/Mail/inbox/".

I'm having some strange behaviour with my mixer settings. I'm using gmix
under gnome, and have it set to restore mixer settings on startup. This
doesn't work - all sound levels are still set to zero. So I added gmix
-i to my startup items, and now when I log in, I get an error message
saying that either there is no mixer device or I don't have permission
to access the mixer device, but I am a member of the audio group. After
I've logged in though, I can open gmix and it sets all my levels
properly.
Looking at my logs, whenever I open gmix (either manually or upon
startup, I get the errors "Can't locate module sound-slot-1" and "Can't
locate module sound-service-1-0". As I understand it, these would refer
to a second sound card, which I don't have. I suspect that why gmix has
trouble setting my levels by itself is that it is looking for this
non-existant card. Why would it be doing this? I've never tried to set
up a second card. /etc/modules.conf has no reference to more sound
devices.
Any suggestions?
I'm running kernel 2.4.9. My sound card is an es1371, which is compiled
into the kernel (not a module). I'm using gmix version 1.2.3 (debian
unstable). My sound all works fine, I just have to manually open gmix
every time to get my levels set properly!
TIA

I wonder whether anybody tried it already (in publicly accessible
project). Shouldn't be too hard to create db back-end for one of the
imap servers. anybody knows about such a beast?

Has anyone successfully built pcmcia on kernel 2.4.9 on sid?, and if
anyone has
could he/she please tell me how they did it?
THX in advance!

Don't know if the SCSI emulation is the reason for this. But your
experience sounds if it is. Is your SCSI emulation installed
correct? If you use IDE hard discs you have to disable SCSI disk
support. SCSI support, SCSI CD-Rom support and SCSI generic
support are the three things that have to be anabled in kernel
configuration if you only have IDE drives.

I had a very similar problem. The reason of this two problems could be
the same.
I also couln't start gmix and get the error message either i have no
permission or there is no /dev/mixer. In my example it was Gnome that
was not set right for gmix. After i anabled sound server startup and
sound events in Gnome control center. I could use gmix without this
error message.
In your case i think the sound server of Gnome is not running in this
time while you use gmix- i as startup item. You should start gmix -i
after the sound server has started.
Why your gmix don't remember his settings is a riddle for my. Gmix
should do this if set in properties. My gmix does this.

Greetings.
mailq is linked to exim, so the mailq command is just a shortcut to
do a
queue check. Is it a security risk to permit normal users to check the
mailq,
because if I try it as a non-root user, I get "permission denied".
Thanks,
Mike

I didn't have to install xconsole, it is apparently in some standard
package. I got the same
sort of messages with SuSE 7.0 when I switched to devfs, but when I got
the current version of
devfsd and configured it to save permissions, everything worked, error
messages here or there.

ksymoops is a utility to decode kernel error messages, removing it seems
like a bit of a bad
idea... Does it eventually create a log file in the directory? i.e. when
the system has reached
the default run level?!
/dev/cdrom1: If mounting the dev works, either using the old or new
names, respectively, I
wouldn't worry about it.
What does /etc/modules look like?! Are you running the latest devfsd?!
Did you compile with the
kernel package tools?!
