Weird: I did about the same upgrade, but never had this problem. Had
a number of others. I did apt-get dist-upgrade; maybe it's because
dselect brings in different packages.

Hi,
first make sure gunzip is installed. To do so, do:
apt-get install gzip
Then you can do:
tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz
It is an archive in whioch all files are put after each other (one big
tarred file for tapes). Then that one big file is gzipped.
Alternatively you can do:
gunzip filename.tar.

Hello. This is slightly OT but I'm out of good
options. I have an Epson Stylus Color 900 connected
to a windows-me computer (hey, it's my wife's and she
won't switch) that I'm trying to print to from my
Debian 2.2r2 with smbprint. All indications are that
the 900 is well supported, I have magicf

I have just completed my 1st kernal compile. Things seem fine except for
my memory.
I have 256m originally (b4 the compile) it was all recognized. Now only
64m is recognized. I have done the append="mem=256M" on another box
when the bios didn't recognize the memory correctly. But since this use

XFree 4.0 has a new way to handle scalable fonts. Probably you did
something that got it working. I am having the same problem with
fonts also--still working on the solution. Apparently the new font
server does scalable/true-type fonts built-in--no need for a separate
true-type font server.

I am going to try and upgrade my kernel so I can get my lame NIC to work
(Linksys LNE100TX) and add SMP support. I have a couple of questions, though:
1) How do I install the source for my current kernel? I'm running
2.2.18pre21, but there is nothing residing in /usr/src. I think I forgot

Hi Glen,
I have used both. I really like the dpkg approach better then
the line/by/line approach. The way I look at it, is that I'm lucky
enough to be running debain and get to play with these killer tools :)
I never used the xconfig tool here. but make menuconfig has worked quite
well, and i
Hi Philipp,
I generally use the 'make install remove'. It seems
to work well here for source I build locally. *tgz*
.deb files are pretty easy to handle. just read up on dpkg.
good luck.

If it's a debian package, cd to the unpacked src-packages top directory

Sawfish by default, will just have the standard X background. If you middle

The other option is to edit your .xinitrc
