Hello,
I am running Debian Woody with the latest KDE2 packages. I have been
trying to install some themes I downloaded from kde.themes.org. One of
the themes is a 1.1.2 theme and one is a KDE2 theme. However, I can't
find out how to install the themes. From my searching on the 'net it
seems that I

Actually I use dpkg-scanpackage with great success. apt-move can also
move packages from /var/cache/apt into a directory structure. Check
the man page for dpkg-scanpackage, if you need more help ask me and I
will provide examples.

Okay, I am having more problems. I decided to enable logging for slapd
so I can see when connections are made, what is being searched for,
and be better able to determine what is and isn't working with my

Yes, I configured the host and base parameters. I didn't think I

Thanks for all of the replies. Last I check out the LDP (

it works.

That line is the crucial line. 'make menuconfig' uses the ncurses
library to build the menu interface. Installing the libncurses5-dev
package should solve your problem.
