I've recently installed Sid on a new computer and use a Linksys router
and cable modem for Internet access. I've built a 2.4.18 kernel image
package, and it works fine except for networking.
I've read the relevant HOW-TOs, and searched the list archives, but

I'm using Sid and XEmacs. XEmacs simply ignores all settings. I'm using a
modified copy of the example .Xdefaults file that came with XEmacs, so I'm
baffled as to why XEmacs apparently doesn't recognize any of the settings
I've changed (and loaded with 'xred -load .Xresources')
My changes are a
After upgrading to 'Unstable', Sawfish reverted to default settings and
any attempt to use the Gnome Control Center to change those settings
results in the Gnome Control Center being locked up. Has anyone else had
a problem like this? I've tried purging all packages that might be

but certainly did so). Now, however, I can't get past the gdm login

I've been a fan of TkDesk for 3-4 years now, but since switching to Debian,
I've had a very annoying problem with it, and I was wondering if anyone
could help me solve them?
I'm using 'woody' and the TkDesk .deb. The problem is that TkDesk keeps
reverting to its default settings at apparently rand

If you're going to run Gnome, I'd suggest using Helix-Gnome (on Woody) and
the version of Sawfish that comes with it. Sawf
I just installed 'Woody' and am having odd problems with a couple of
modules. The 'lp' module claims that options passed to it in 'modules.conf'
are bad, yet they are exactly the same options I previously used with
'Slink':
options lp io=0x378 irq=7

I've got potato installed on a 1.5GB partition, and have another hard drive
with an available 2GB partition (type 82 Linux, formatted ext2fs) on to

latest version for Potato.

I've got a SB16(PnP), configured with isapnptools, and using kernel modules.
During bootup, messages complaining that "module sound-service-0-0" and
"module sound-slot-0" can't be located are displayed several times each.
I've read through the HOWTOs and the sound docs in the kernel source, but
