Is Xforms 0.88 for bo available?

I've stated that strange behavior of lyx 0.12.0, (which crashes the X server (with segfault) after selecting insert->figure, and accepting any format) is probably (?) associated with wrong version of xforms library. Is it possible to find xforms 0.88 as debian package for bo (AFAIK there are no sou

apache

Hi, This is probably off the topic, but I am having trouble configuring apache web server (on debian bo). The major problem is that .htaccess files don't seem to work. Is there a special option I have to enable to get support for these?? (I know they used to work on my old slackware system - s
