finish intalling the rest of the 130 Megs, i'm not sure if it has
installed these packages yet or not, i would guess not. if you are using
apt mehtod of getting your debs then they will be downloaded to

Hi,
I have defined iso-8859-15 charset in my $HOME/.bash_profile, and it
works as such if I set a proper font for it, eg.:

Hello,
I am going to buy a new computer, but which video adapter/chip-set ?
Many powerful new computers come with things like
Matrox G400 or NVidia Riva TNT2.
I am still using Slink with XFree 3.3.2, where these chips are not
supported. However they are supported in potatoe with XFree86 3.3.5.
