When installing on Ubuntu 8.04

I get the following:

The following packages have been kept back:
bind9-host dnsutils libbind9-30 libisccfg30 linux-image-server linux-server
openssh-client openssh-server
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded.
root@server1:~# apt-get install $(cat ./docs/Ubuntu/ubuntu-packages-hardy)
cat: ./docs/Ubuntu/ubuntu-packages-hardy: No such file or directory
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded.
root@server1:~#


Then I can't go to configure the other stuff that should pop up, the first time I tried this, it told me it couldn't find package Libperl (some version number)

Any ideas would be great, please be gentle, I am trying to learn linux.

Guess nobody has any ideas, I'm gonna go for webmin then... thanks guys

chrisoverly, it looks like you weren't in the folder that contains the "docs" folder. you may need to change to the folder that unzipping created, or change your command to point to the location of the ubuntu-packages-hardy file.

Give ispcp a try. It's really nice.

I am now getting this as my init.d file.... and it says I should change something (because I had an error) but I cannot figure out what I need to change...

#! /bin/sh -e

prefix="/usr"
exec_prefix=${prefix}
sysconfdir="/etc/courier"
sbindir="${exec_prefix}/sbin"
daemonscript="${sbindir}/authdaemond"
run_dir="/var/run/courier/authdaemon"

# create /var/run if it does not already exist
if [ ! -d ${run_dir} ]; then
mkdir -p ${run_dir}
chown daemon:daemon ${run_dir} /var/run/courier
chmod 750 ${run_dir}
fi

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

# Check for a leftover init script

^G Get Help ^O WriteOut ^R Read File ^Y Prev Page ^K Cut Text ^C Cur Pos
^X Exit ^J Justify ^W Where Is ^V Next Page ^U UnCut Text^T To Spell

It looks like there should be much more of a script there... You sure there isn't more content that missed in that file?

i'm reinstalling and trying again, but that is all that was in putty... i even scrolled up and checked.... nothing...
