For the fonts, you need at least xfntbase, and xfnt75 is probably
necessary, too.
For the video modes, I think there is no problem. Xfree 3.3 seems to give
much more choice than before. look at your /etc/X11/XF86Config file.
Some modes are for low-end hardware, others for 21" (or 25") or bigger

I don't what I've broken, or if it comes from an upgrade, but my ne.o

for me you should install xbase, probably xfnt* (at least xfntbase),
and everything dselect requires or suggests you should install.
I would be surprised if old configs are a pro
about : listing installed & unneeded packages
Usually I do that with dselect.
You go through the list (skipping the base package),
and see every package that is installed.
I find it convenient for 2 reasons :
-You have a short description for the packages (in case you don't remember)
-You can s

I use gnuplot 3.5beta6.328-1 , with a bo install.
By me the following problem does not appear.

So it's probably not a 'linux' problem, but an installation issue.

Hi !
Do you know you have a directory /var/backups with a copy of
/etc/group, /etc/passwd and /etc/inetd.conf in it ?
(created by /etc/cron.daily/netbase )
Or was it only installed with the base of bo ?
This -should- help you.
if not, consider install anacron, that will ensure your cron entries

Humm, this sounds familiar..
When I boot with the rescue floppy, or the standart kernel,
it hangs the first time (perhaps warm boot). Then I reset and it boots.
It's one of the unneeded drivers that hangs on autodetect, I guess.
Then I recompiled the kernel with only the needed drivers, and everyt

Wrong : the cache is under ~/.netscape/cache
Right : 'Clear cache now' resolves the problem. (for me at least)
I had the same problems, certainly bec. I once 'rm -r .netscape/cahe' ,

Now it caches pages. What is pretty stupid as my link to the proxy server

Hi,
If you already have compiled the Kernel yourself, just do
make *config; make modules; make modules_install
and perhaps depmod -a;
After that the modules can be inserted automatically by kerneld. No need
to recompile or reboot.
If you still run the kernel from the distribution floppy,

- Just after it has downloaded the list, you switch to another console

type :

I've installed bo today from scratch.
I found several bugs :

I've just decided to upgrade from stable to bo, or unstable, whatever the

Would it be useful for the projet if I do a full install and report

I can easily backup my home directory and forget the rest.
But I could also upgrade whith dselect/dpkg-ftp
