i'm missing the same thing: debian should have a database with error reports and how to fix them. every big bug should be documented (we had this bud <description>, and you can solve it this way : <solution>. it's also fixed in the new release debian <version> and in the package xyz <version>."). look at other distributions : they have support databases (www.suse.de, maybe also www.suse.com and other distributions). the bug archive is ok for us developers, but after a bug is closed, it wouldn't help. and a user should not have to read the whole discussion, he only needs the bug description and the solution to solve it. regards, andreas -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
