aptget wants to install on remove 3253

On comp.os.linux.misc, in Mol"

Because the kernel from Debian comes with Debian-specific patches that I need to run Debian.

The only major distro that uses a stock kernel is Slackware. (And that's dated info. I don't know if it's still that way.)

I have a 20G harddrive. Half of it lies fallow, and I have 2 other Linuxes on it besides Debian, and a mbuttive Usenet cache and all of the HOWTOS from tldp.org and a huge web cache (mostly just text).

My ordinary memory footprint (out of 128M) is about 15M.

On the surface, it's a good idea, but the man pages are supposed to be short and sweet: Cheatsheets, not tutorials or full manuals.

What you are describing would be a good way to create ever-evolving HOWTO'S.

And that's a good idea.

Text, then printable HTML. Anyone wants to print them can just convert them to PS or PDF with a utility like htmldoc, or a2ps for plain text to PS-PDF.

Or just wrap the plain text in

And run it through htmldoc.

That's what I do. Why have two utilities when one will do?

Sure can.

Web interfaces suck, however. You could use FTP and script a very nice user interface.
