Re: anyone interested in pretty xaw3d scrollbars?

Joey, It would be nice to have an xaw3d-scrollbars.deb package. Especially if you also make packages for xterm-3dscrollbars and xterm-color-3dscrollbars to go with it. Yves. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL P

Something I've been missing ever since I came to debian was a set of xaw3d libraries that gave athena scrollbar widgits a nice 3-d appearence to go with the rest of xaw3d.

Unable to boot with special kernels 1 & 4

Hello, I wonder whether anybody can help me. I want to move onto the Linux 2.0 kernel via the Debian distribution, but I cannot boot with either of the two special kernels which (I think) are most appropriate for me. Namely, numbers 1 & 4. The error message I get is along the lines of:

Last night, my aging micropolis 1.5 gig drive decided to scramble itself. "Self," I think, "Just boot up off the boot and root disks, and fsck the root partition back into order." A noble thought, but to my utter dismay, I found out that the boot/root set doesn *not* have fsck on it! Does anyone ha

Ok, here's the problem folks. 1. The only computer in our LAN that has access to the Internet is a Win95 system, so it can't run DNS. 2. Smail and Sendmail on all the Debian boxes tell me they can't deliver mail without DNS. 3. I've tried every combination known to man, for the configuration
