Debian, FHS & /floppy

2002-01-15 Thread Andras Simonyi
Hello, I can't help asking this concerning Debian's FHS compliance: why on earth make all the Debian-versions the mount-points of removable media in the root directory instead of /mnt/, which is the required standard in FHS?

KDE 2.2.1 taskbar problem in Woody

2001-11-24 Thread Andras Simonyi
