After doing an apt-get dist-upgrade (with stopped kdm) today I'm not longer
able to work with KDE2. kdm starts and gives me the blue backgound only.
Sometimes - I could not figure out yet under what conditions - it gives me the
kdm-login window but without icons and it wont take any keyboardinput.
After the upgrade X gives me a blank screen. Fortunately I can still
use 3.3.6, but I would like to get 4.01 working. I have a generic pci
video card with a Cirrus 5430 chip and 2 MB. I captured the startx
messages and saw the following listed as errors:

Hi Folks;
Is there a program that will write zeros to a Linux
partition? I need to clean up a hard drive and doing
a mke2fs does not erase the old data, so that is not
a formatting program.
The reason is that with each new installation of
Debian 2.2 I get worse and worse response from the
distro.
T
I have a shared /home directory under two machines: a box called
"strago", running OpenBSD 2.7, and a box called "shadow", running woody.
/home is an entire harddisk on strago, mounted on shadow through NFS.
The line I use in fstab to mount /home is:
strago:/home /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,t
