Check out http://cdimage.debian.org/ftp-mirrors.html for a list of Debian
CD Image mirrors.
(This link was last posted on the list just a couple of days ago.)

d it doing hostname
lookups wrong. It wasn't looking up MX records because I had made it use
gethostbyname(), instead of a direct DNS lookup. As a result, it was
trying to connect to hosts that didn't accept their own mail.
It's all fixed now.
Thanks so much for your help.

Could you expand on this? How would a mail server decide which IP
addresses to block? Why would it suddenly decide that it doesn't like

On what basis could a mail server decide which hosts it is going to allow

Okie dokie. Thanks for the advice. I'll get on it (I'm still keeping
my theme packages, though). :)

You're correct; it's not there. I think it's probably related to the
librep dependancy.

e as clear as
yours, I would be very happy to contribute to this project (assuming
you're looking for volunteers).
I also think a section on the differences between stable, testing and
unstable would be useful, along with some advice on who should use which.

Woody and Ximian.
Is there a simple way to remove the Ximian packages and replace them with
the Woody ones?

For this situation, I would recommend that you at least give /home its own
partition, and then leave / for everything else. It's not ideal, but at
least you'll be able to hold on to your personal data (the stuff that
really matters) if anything happens to the other file system.
Good luck.
probably try to find out the anwer to this from the XFree86
people.

I don't know. I think it might actually be a limitation of the
hardware. That's jsut a guess though.
Sorry I couldn't be

One problem I have had: the OpenGL screensavers produce nasty flicker.
When I just run the executibles, they don't. Also, no problem with
Quake or TuxRacer. Anyone else experiencd this? Any idea why it might
be?

M RAM, it takes fully
40 seconds longer to boot Windows 98 SE into a usable state (and I
disabled all of the "silly little applets" that I could) than it does to
boot Linux 2.2.18, start a plethora of services, start GDM, and log into
GNOME.

Has anyone else experienced this odd phenomenon? Does anyone know what

, and select "Appearance" under "Sawfish

similarly to application windows." Turn this one on, and your dialog

I found that an easy solution was to simply grab the realplayer package
from unstable, and install that instead. It expects the current rp8 file.

My question: could the difference be the pentium optimizations in the

difference might be?

/dev/sbpcd a better bet?
I would try doing an lsmod, and checking to make sure that the sbpcd
