I just got the ppp version from development and it installed fine. I use 
an ethernet connection and do not have a modem in use, anyway.

Thanks,

I'm not sure what to do with all of the duplicate bugs reported in the 
bugzilla database. Maybe instead of putting duplicate bugs within the 
database, some sort of merge feature to consolidate the reports into one 
item or a bug report which is threaded  would be easier to trace down.

Having a field in bugzilla to do this would make the report easier to 
trace. I got lost as to which duplicate to follow, in order to get to 
the correct report.

I have xine-lib-1.0.0-0.lvn.0.26.rc4a.2 installed right now. I had no 
trouble getting xine-0.99.2-0.lvn.2.2 to install.

this is the up2date output.

There was a package dependency problem.  The message was:

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
xine-lib  1.0.0-0.lvn.0.29.rc5.2         requires libtheora.so.0

Please modify your package selections and try again.

This is from the testing area on livna.

I closed down xmms and the count went down from 9 to 7. Also, the 
program seems to be from December 2003.

I only tried these programs because of having to remove two trojans on 
my wife's XP machine. Being we are fire walled from the outside and are 
the only machines on this network, I thought that I'd check the Linux 
side out from curiosity/paranoia.

What program would be a good alternative to chkrootkit for system 
integrity checks?

Your best consolation is the hope that the things you failed to get weren't
really worth having.
