The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Serious problems in base-disks clean install.

I just did a from scratch instal from the "current" disks in
unstable.  If these are the same disks as in rex, then we may have
some showstoppers (assuming I know what I'm talking about).

1) I found that permissions are screwy.  The only case I checked
carefully was /tmp.  It ends up with permissions:

  root root rwxr-xr-x

surely that's wrong.  My other systems have rwxrwxrwt.  Wasn't there a
bug in the kernel that keeps these bits from being set right?  If so,
we shouldn't be using that kernel for the install (or am I
hallucinating).  I fear that if this happened with /tmp, it might have
happened a bunch of other places.  Any one know how I might be able to
fix this and have a system with correct permissions *soon*?

2) I had told the install that I wanted to boot from my hard drive.
When I rebooted, it hung where it would normally have printed a lilo
prompt with "1FA:".  After I booted with the boot floppy, and ran lilo
the problem vanished.

3) I entered my name servers in the install as addr1,addr2.  This
ended up being put in /etc/resolv.conf as

  nameserver addr1,addr2

4) I had to manually create devices for /dev/sdc, and edit the config
file so that it would let me create them.  Why are all scsi devices
above the first two so shunned?

Thanks
