Hello,
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I needed to
reinstall my system. I'm starting with a 2.2r3 version
of potato on installation CD's. I tried to setup

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from v2.2r17 to woody and have
been able to apt-get update. When I do an apt-get

Is it possible to apt-get dselect-upgrade after my
update to install Woody in pieces? And if that's
possible, is there a set order that should be

I believe the problem is that Evolution is compiled
with a later C lib. Most questions I needed answered
for apt-get can be found here.

I got a Dell machine, but I was just getting into
Linux and went Red-Hat for a while. The Red-Hat
hardware support page only gave 4 Dells and 1 IBM.
I would consider http://www.penguincomputing.com
they specialize in Linux-compatible machines.
If you are inclined to hear my tale of woe with Dell,
I read the article. It doesn't sound like bashing. I
have been bashed for using Linux and to paraphrase my
favorite debate line "that, senator is not bashing".
The upshot of the article is:
- We decided that RPM's are the defacto standard
- DEB's are more reliable, easier to update and
conform to

I'm pretty new to the Linux environment myself and I
can understand you're growing pains.
One thing I did learn is if your session is hung you
can type F2-F6 to get to another login session.
This way, you can shut your machine down properly.

If you have Windows, use it to get the information
needed. once installed, go to the properties option of
the desktop menu under Settings Tab, go to the Display
type to get the video card.
Check the monitor make/model, you should be able to
find documentation online esp. if it's a Dell monitor.

I'd verify to see if you put the paths to these

you can type
$export PATH = ::$PATH
= the absolute path of the external
