Hello - I'm interested in getting pari. It used to be possible to get
it from www.debian.org. Where is it now?
Also, what is the easiest way to install .deb packages so that files are
placed in the right directories.

Yes, that seems to be working now. Thanks. :)

I removed the magicfilter package from my system, and installed
apsfilter instead. I have used apsfilter in the past with success on
my slackware system.
However, after I installed it, I cannot print anything.
For instance, if I type "lp file.txt", I get the following message:
no printcap for

I am using tcsh, and I put "unset autologout" in to /etc/csh.login.
However, my session got killed again just a while ago. Is what I did
for the autologout variable correct? One thing I noticed is that
autologout will log the session out in almost exactly the number of

No, I commented out S20nas from /etc/rc2.d sometime ago since I found it
launched /usr/X11R6/bin/au and occupied /dev/dsp (so when I
