Hi Folks,
What I did:
I'm using the debian installer to do an automated install of a bunch
of workstations. We have various users who speak non-English
languages, so I installed every font package I could.
Problem:
I myself speak Korean (albeit badly). After installing all the fonts,

Hi folks,
If there's a more appropriate place to ask this, please let me know.
I manage a large number of workstations which run Debian. Everyone in
my organization need to be able to access any of these workstations,

Hi folks,
I am trying to build an automated install image using Debian. It's
going pretty well so far, but I've run into a little snag.
We have a lot of international users, so it's useful to have all of
the supported languages installed and usable. Thanks to the nice
folks over on the debian-i
I am attempting to install the spice3f5 circuit simulator available from
Berkeley.
It seems to compile fine, until the end where it loads the main
executable, and
gives the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltermcap
I am using Potato, and I have the termcap-compat package installed.
