Woody and KDE.

2001-03-25 Thread Ian Lee
Are there any KDE packages for woody?   I can only find the i18 packages in dselect.  I tried the source, but the configure script wants libz, and I can't find that in the dselect list either.   Ian.    

mgetty + pppd + 2.4.2 kernel + autoppp

Ok, sans any scathing editorial commentary, I'll keep my question simple. Does or Does Not a (correctly configured under 2.2.18) release of mgetty work in concert with pppd (2.4) under the latest greatest 2.4.2 kernel? Last time I dialed my laptop into my desktop was back in August of 2000, when

I have @home and don't use dhcp. They don't change IPs (at least not in the two years I've had mine), so you're safe using a static IP.

Look on the debian.org site under documentation. Or if you can't find it there try a search on google. I'd suggest not putting a whole lot on with dselect (I don't like it much), then use one of the apt-get front ends (like gnome-apt) to do your installs. On Sun, Mar 25, 2001 at 10:16:18AM -0800,
