Dear List,
I have an encrypted swap file located inside /var, which is on a
separate LVM2 logical volume from /, but it does not get mounted on
boot. Everything I've been able to find either implies my setup should

he network contains both Mac and Windows computers (but no Linux

Well, an update: I just ran the nvidia script today (169.09) and it
worked. I told it to not look for a precompiled interf
(and the unstable
kernel version too? it could have been something else), so I decided I
didn't want to upgrade that much.
I think I will go with the nvidia installer. I'll post back with

Etch uses xorg.
Actually, nv was what the installer picked by default and that didn't
work for me (I was surprised by that, but maybe stable uses an older
version of nv or something). Anyways, vesa worked, and
I like xfce4 because it is lighter than GNOME and yet has almost as
