7.1 Other things I should know about?
- Various error messages in the system will normally be
issued as internal email. To ensure that these will actually be
read, one should create an
/etc/aliases. Remember the command
newaliasesevery time you change this. An example that should cover most eventualities is:
PostMaster: root
ftp: root
news: root
usenet: root
FaxMaster: root
fax: root
WebMaster: root
MAILER.DAEMON: root
- Many programs for Linux may be found at Sunsite, which is usually quite busy. But there are many mirrors and every time there is a reference to ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/.. one should try to use a mirror close to home, e.g. ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/pub/linux/sunsite/...
- If you happen to be migrating from Yarn it should be possible to convert these to standard folders using the yarn2mf available at:
ftp://ftp.sol.no/user/egilk/yarn2mf.zip
