Local (entreprise) mirror

Hello, I will be installing Debian/sid on several machines. They will probably be internet-connected when I install them. At the moment the LAN is NOT connected to the Internet, waiting for an ADSL line installation. I already have a Debian/potato installed on the same LAN. I created from an

Re: Potato & Moneydance

You have to play with the CLASSPATH variable in one (some) of the scripts. I had exactly the same problem, and I solved it that way. In fact, if I haven't forgotten, it's simply a question of adding a line to the script that states where it can find your classes.zip file CLSPATH=${CLSPATH}:/your/p

Re: Moving /home to new Parition

Assuming you have a /mnt/tmp directory, you can do: mount /dev/hda12 /mnt/tmp cp -dpR /home/* /mnt/tmp Then you check that everything is on the right place, and that I have not given you the wrong cp command (verify symlinks for example). Check also that each file belongs to the right user and ha

Re: Similar problem as in Re: messed up terminal

Re: Star Office

Well, I did not really experience exactly the same thing, but I have well tested that StarCalc has some bugs when managing memory. The more time you work with it, the more it grows in memory. A lot to do with the UNDO routines, I'm afraid. So... you can *try reducing* the number of steps you want

Re: gpm config for Logitech MouseMan+ PS/2

I imagine that I have one of those mice that are not 'boxed', as I bought it with the computer. My config is just like yours for X, and the difference between your config for gpm and mine should be inexistent... I tried everything... I'll have to wait until someone develops support for my mouse :(

Re: Unresolved symbols potato and kernel 2.0.36

I don't know nearly anything about this, but... did you activate module support in your kernel? It sounds like there has to be such a silly little thing that breaks it all. If you compile the kernel properly (at least it happened ok to me when I had 2.0.36), i.e. (make dep; make clean; make zImage
