Adventures in Linuxemu

Installation is exactly as cinap says

But the apt sources have moved
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main

Now apt-update worked

apt-get install host
got me a working host

apt-get install python
would have got me python2.3 but I cancelled it

Upgrading to etch is not possible because etch requires the "dswap" instruction

adding privoxy to test sockets

apt-get -y install privoxy
it's also installing adduser & cron

adduser is failing to lock /etc/passwd so wont add new users

trying apt-get -y install ssh
it asks you if you want to disable ssh 1 buy i can only say yes!

worse than that, it ignores the -y

So I went for proftpd and it's hauled in the army - 6M expanding to 25M - no questions asked!

Same option problem so I mashed the keys and it worked but I don't know what I chose, inetd or standalone

dammit, that wants user ftp, didnt think of that

should have tried nc instead

anyway gone for vnc4server which drags in X !

can't open display
