Did you check the headers on e-mails you're receiving from the list to
make sure that hoyt13 is really the address they're being mailed to? I
know I have several aliases that point to my e-mail account...

Specifically, check the "Return-Path" header in an e-mail from the
Debian-user list.

HTH,

Re: upgrade

This kind of randomness happens a lot.  I figure it's one of three 
things: either (1) the sender intended to ask debian-user this question; 
(2) the sender is on a shared computer and this was in the address book, 
and it just looked useful, or (3) it's some kind of spam.

If it's (1), how would someone "stumble" onto www.debian.org and learn 
the address?  I can imagine the clueless doing dumb things but that 
seems like a highly unlikely choice.

If it's (3), what is the purpose of sending such a pointless spam?  Is 
it just pointless anarchy?

(2) is a stretch.  Maybe debian-user is a link on some web page listing 
a collection of email support addresses, and the clueless just sort of 
click randomly to get here.

Well since you want it to be a quick hack then I suggest you simply use
gnuplot for the graphs. Gnuplot supports many different output drivers,
including X, PostScript, Ascii, etc. Since you're coding in C you can
popen(3) a pipe to gnuplot (with the correct arguments) and pipe it 
the data.

I've done something like this myself...you start a message that is 
somehow interrupted and you think you are clicking it off or sending 
it to "drafts" and you hit send by accident.

Really, just a note to re-introduce myself to the group. Thanks to 
members here I have had a successfully running webserver for about a 
year now no problems at all. But very gun-shy about getting back into 
learning more Linux; that was a grueling six-months of torture! Now 
putting my toes in again.

If it can be played, it can be copied... You need a CD player with an S/PDIF
output and an S/PDIF-capable sound card based on the CMI8738 chipset - these
are cheap, and have a solid S/PDIF implementation capable of bit-perfect
copies (many, including Soundblasters, fail on solidity, cheapness or
both...) Google for the little gtk app that lets you turn S/PDIF on and off
on these cards (not being on my usual box, I don't have the reference to
hand).

What dependencies? libsensors-1debian1_2.7.0-6_i386.deb ?

Well the version in unstable (and the version in testign) seem to be unable
to find the requsite .xml files, even though most of them seem to exist in
/usr/share/fwbuilder. Althought I had to make a link from the init file to
the name the executable was expecting. But that didn't get it much further.

Let me know if you wnat more info.

I tried that, but gnome pilot still didn't pick up on it.

Re: Debian newbie confused over apt and packages

Apt-get doesn't use packages.debian.org, but rather the servers and subsections in /etc/apt/sources.list

Apt-get uses these lists to get at the actual packages.  As others have said, use apt-setup to set up to point
to this, or one of the other mirrors.

Don't know - probably, but if you want updated versions of the packages you have to change the stable section
to either sarge (or testing) or unstable (or sid).  Woody doesn't have any package updates, only security
updates from the line your already listed above.
