finds the above interesting (I've spared you many
details). Over the last few years I've been impressed with how effective
e-mail and newsgroups, combined with search tools have been. In the case of
debian, the process improvement goal is to get the most out of one's
computer hardware by using free software.

I agree that emacs cc-mode package works great for indenting. You can
modify it quite a lot to make it indent how you want. It does not move the
position of "{" past comments or do really sophisticated code reformatting
like that, but there are quite a few good settings you can set to help

I recently changed from using the unstable distribution to the stable one.

Here's a cut-and-paste-and-slightly-edited version of what I found about

Try adding:

your problem. Maybe you'll run into other keys that don't get mapped the

Reading the how-to on apt-get may provide some help. I think you need the

I'm less familiar with Linux than you, but I can tell you based on recent
Debian experience that there's a How-To document for apt at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manua
Here's what I found (thanks to those who replied):
It seems the /etc/apt/preferences file is a feature not yet in the stable
release of apt-get (version 0.3.19). I found some information about the
preferences file in a how-to document based on version 0.5.3 (chapter 3 of

I'm wondering if a 'cproto' debian package is available for the Linux 2.2

Hi Mark,
If you use a2ps to print you C files, you can use --tabsize=4 to make it

Hello Debian enthusiasts,
I'm having difficulty getting my system to boot off my SCSI hard disk. It
boots off the rescue diskette, and I've rerun lilo after checking over the
lilo.conf file. I got the following when I ran lilo:
