I don't think it's required any more. I think Window Maker is
configured with support for both KDE and GNOME, so just install wmaker
and it'll all just work.
What's the deal with wmaker-gnome? I tried to do a a dist-upgrade,
something I haven't done in a few months and it removed wmaker-gnome.
Trying to install it direct with 'apt-get install wmaker-gnome' produces
this:

Hi All,
I'm in the process of trying to install Debian from CD (I bought the
package in a store) on a 486/66, with the eventual goal of being independent
of the evil Gatesoft empire :-) But my problem is I have a SONY CDU33A
CD-ROM which uses a Sony Proprietary controller, and the installa
Does anybody know where I can get this? I just saw an article at CNN
site. Since it is java should run in a Debian box, I suppose.

Thanx.

This is probably waht it is, since I am booting from floppy (can not boot from
hdb), and I think I didn't exactly fix Lilo. I think I had my root file system
in hdb?, ups , don't remember! I have installed it so many times... I will
check on it and report back.

I'm building a computer with a DPT SmartRAID VI hardware RAID controller. Now
I'd very much like to dual-boot potato on the machine. (I've kinda grown to
