Dear fellow debian-user recipients,
When I try to install tetex-base, it searches for old tex

I've recently added a second Mb to my Trident TGUI9440 board and am able

think) and I can't seem to get into 800x600 mode. My understanding is

Hi sir,

find the cd. I have

I am trying to compile X-Programs, but I cannot link them. I get always the
messages libraries "Xaw, Xmt not found".
This arise when I try to compile the last version of X-Board, but I have all
these libraries installed in /usr/X11R6/lib.
Any help would be appreciated .

This is actually two questions.
The seyon package in non-free doesn't document how to add items to the
