Hi
After i do a 'apt-get update', Is there a convenient tool to look at
what has changed in the updated packages, before downloading the
packages and installing them?
Thanks in Advance!

Sorry I can only answer this one:
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
It is called explore2fs and for me has worked flawlessly.
I use the boot mode video selection to get a 80x50 mode.
It starts out OK, but sometime during the boot process the video mode
goes back to 80x25.
I'm running testing and this happened after one of my debian upgrades.
Anybody know where to start looking ?

Hi all,
I have this odd little issue with gmplayer 0.90rc4-2.95.4 under gnome
1.4 on woody:
When I play a file using the -fs flag (with or without -vm), it opens
a window that's the *size* of the whole screen, but *positioned*
adjacent to (not on top of) the gnome panel at the top of my screen.

2.4.18. This all goes pretty well. I apt-get the kernel source etc, and
configure through menuconfig and install using dpkg. It installs fine, boots
no problem. I think it is in menuconfig that I have a problem. I am lik

Hi Everyone,
I upgraded my machine a couple of days ago to an asus p4p800 motherboard
(http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4P800&langs=01) with on board sound

Since the upgrade, I have been having numerous problems with the network.

That's possibly an indication that this is a big stumbling block for certain
users. I myself had to spend an entire week just getting Debian to run, the
first time I installed it. A year and a half

Hi, all,
At some point after doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, xmcd stopped
working on my system. I get the following messages when I run it in
debug mode (whether as root or an ordinary user):

since 1997 on my primary box. i've had a few annoying little problems,
