i saw someone said:


xen-linux-system-2.6.8-5-xen-686


libc6-xen


bridge-utils


xen-tools


xen-ioemu-3.0.3-1



but i don't know what these packages use for.

On my system, /service and /command are each 4k since they only contain 
links.  /package is 1.8M. 


Check yours from a terminal (as root) with:

#du -h /command
#du -h /service
#du -h /package



These directories belong to the DJB series of packages, so if you are not 
using tinydns, you can remove them, but you will be saving very little space.


Do you need more help?X

Unfortunately, i stop using xen because it doesn't fit my need and was
not as flexible and lightweight as vserver is (but you can run
only linux distribution inside this kind of super chroot).



Using my ancient memory, i can try to guess something:

- xen-linux-system-2.6.8-5-xen-686: the kernel
- libc6-xen: the libc6 you need to use with the kernel above
- bridge-utils: what you need to create bridged network to make


  domU/dom0 communicate through a kind of network
- xen-tools: some utils to manage xen


- xen-ioemu: tools to use the Intel VT technologies (but i never use it,
  so it is really a guess)



I think, all this packages are mandatory.


Can we help you?X

There were no further messages?



Does the Debian gpsman or gpsd package documents have anything to suggest?
I note that many of the packages found with aptitude search ~dgarmin
mention attaching a GPS via serial port however gpsd says serial or USB.
Perhaps the documentation in that package will give you some pointers.


Can't find what you're looking for?X

Thanks Mark.  I have now removed them -- and a stack of symlinks to them
in /usr/bin /usr/local/bin and so on.  And then I remembered I had to
purge package djbinstaller as well!  Pity it never worked though --
people who use tinydns speak well of it.



No, you are right, it saves little space, but it does tidy things up and
remove some non FHS directories.

It looks like you're allowing unlimited output which means that if
something does break into your system then they can use your system to
spit stuff out without you knowing.  Overall, it seems like very few
rules.

Personally, I use shorewall to setup my netfilter rules.  If nothing
else, you probably should install the shorewall-doc package since it
covers the subject very well.  Here are my relavent shorewall configs
with the pramble-comments removed.  This box is my main box and also
acts as a firewall for the rest of the network.

I am not quite sure about that because I have a lot of other variables
and things in .bash_profile which is available from konsole or xterm.
For example, my PATH is being set in
.bash_profile which ofcourse is available from konsole or xterm. And
.bashrc is being sourced inside .bash_profile.

Not really! I am living that way right now. But ideally, a library
path need be defined once, shouldn't it?

I will look into that soon.

Yes.

Of course not! I was just playing with the variable name :) In fact,
as I mentioned earlier, I do have other variables (exported) in
.bash_profile which are available (with their appropriate values)
inside konsole or xterm.

Depending on the package he may have to modprobe garmin_gps to get
/dev/ttyUSB0
Other programs can access directly the gps through libusb (gpsbabel for
instance).

Oh yes, I see it is set up to start if available...

I installed gtk-led-askpass and added a line "/usr/bin/gtk-led-askpass" in
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart, but this simply caused Xwindows
to open in a frozen state (waiting for my response on a non-visible
window, I assume since the ssh-agent process was running). This is
probably easy enough to resolve, but it will still require me to enter
the reasonably secure passphrase (read "excessively long") that I chose,
so perhaps I shall stay with method 1, the ssh tunnel, which works
easily enough.

The only thing that would make it more convenient still would be if I
could see how to write scripts to open and close the tunnel.  They would
need to check if it is already open first.  When opening or closing the
tunnel the scripts would also set sendmail= apropriately.  Then I could
map them to hotkeys in mutt.  When I am attached to our home network, I
can send direct, but when I am on a laptop elsewhere or in Italy I need
to use the tunnelling.  So the possibility of easy switching would be
useful.

I'm wondering about the old xen kernel. What's about the security 
patches which are implemented in the standard kernel? Do the debian xen 
packages contains this patches or is it only the old kernel 2.6.18.5?

Is the debian xen 2.6.18.5 kernel the same as the official xen 2.6.18.5 
kernel?

Nah.  You're probably "just" a nervous ex-Windows user.

But hey, bravo for running "xterm" and using the CLI!!!!

Thanks for the reply. You are actually right, I got different DPI
settings depending on how I started the X session. What I did was
changing to 96x96 points per inch through KDE control panel and am
now happy.

Thanks again

 The stable release of Etch has recently been
installed on an old Abit BE6 II motherboard. The
previous system run on this board was a 2.4 Sarge.

 Whenever, Etch is booted, the boot stops at several
points, saying CTRL-D is needede to continue the boot.
 This has not happened on the Sarge system.

 Any reasons for the change in boot procedure ?
