Hi All,
I asked this in Debian-CD and no-one seemed to know, so I thought I'd ask
the wider commmunity and see if anyone else had seen the same thing.

Yup, that was it.
Not sure if this is a bug, or just something I did wrong. If it's a real
bug, I'll report it.
I upgraded an (intel-based) laptop from potato to woody and I now find
that when I log into it with ssh -X I can't get X forwarding to work. I
have edited sshd_config to set

Greetings, Debian users,
Does anyone know whether it is possible to get gdb to work with Fortran?

caveats e.g. you can't see data in a common block, which is more feature
than bug IMHO). Both the systems I use are standard Debi

Greetings, fellow Debian fans,
This is only a proto-debian question, I'm afraid, but I have tried to

Hi
I've been following this thread as I have W98 on /dev/hda and Debian on
/dev/hdb (Keep them nice and separate, I thought) and I havn't
configured lilo yet, I'm still booting off a floppy.
I was planning to sit down with the LILO manual (recommended reading)
sometime and fix it up, but h

Hi,
As two previous posters have pointed out,
Hello Debian Gurus:
Just a small one: I tried installing the offix suite several times from my
Debian 2.0 CD. It never worked, presumably because of bug #27078:( libdnd1
does not run ldconfig in the postinst!). None of the offix commands
appeared except for offix-editor and that didn't work, pro
