> which I don't want, and the keyboard seemed to be locked
So, now that slink is marked as stable, does this mean that it will never be
updated again? I'm confused about new packages - do they get added to
existing releases or only to unstable ones?
Reason I'm asking? I want to make a debian CD.

Okay, so I've installed xfstt - the true type font server. The package says
it doesn't contain any fonts, and I can't find a package of them via dselect.
Can anyone point me to the true type fonts package(s)?
TIA,
Jay

Midnight is hours; there is no 2400 hours - after 23:59:59 it change

By that logic, 12:01pm would be 12 hours and 1 minute after noon, or 1 minute
after midnight. :)
