I looked at the various machines again, and realized that the machine on which WP Office always crashes is the one running XFree86 4.2 (my video card (Trident Cyberblade XP) is not supported in 4.1); the other two are using XFree86 4.1. There may be some other subtlties in configuration I can't t

I tried changing the fontpath, but it made no difference; same crash. I also tried some of the other fixes (designed for Caldera) on the link you provided; also no change. And yes, I had already been purging the .wpo2000/ and .wpo2000rc folder/file from /~ after each crash. I even did a complete a

I have Debian 3.0 installed on an HP Pavillion N5425 laptop, and after considerable modifications it is (mostly) working. Often, however, it seems that I "fix one thing, break two others". I have two current problems, one of which is probably in the documentation somewhere but I just can't find

I did a network (ftp) install directly to Woody, with no problems. Just follow the instructions at http://cdimage.debian.org/ch11.html, but substitute /dists/testing/main/disks-/current/ instead of /dists/stable/main/disks-/ to obtain the boot disks. The file install.bat should be

Several methods of sharing a DSL connection are outlined at http://sympaticousers.org/menu/nav.htm All assume an external DSL modem. Note that some DSL modems (notably the Nortel and Alcatel) support more than one MAC address, so if you get a hub, plug in the two computers and the modem, both ma
