Getting the Sun JDK/JRE plugin to work is easy, as per the instructions at:
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html#Linux
Also, the j2se-package, erm, package, lets you build Debian-compliant
Java packages easily and those are supposed to configure the plugin
for you.
Of course, that's for th
I would guess that either both CDROMs are faulty (unlikely) or that
the machine's RAM or hard drive are faulty (more likely). You can
test both, but I don't know how.

I'd suggest looking at dmesg for lines like the following:
hda: Maxtor 6E040L0, ATA DISK drive
hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive

If it is there, check that it actually is hdc, it could have been

As far as I know, metacity is ICCCM compliant (a standard for window
managers), so it can be used with any ICCCM compliant panels,
toolbars, etc. Metacity just happens to be the default for Gnome, but
I expect it would work well with KDE too (though it obviously wouldn't
use the KDE theme as Metac

Not many grins and giggles for me.

One thing that might be possible is to attach gdb (GNU debugger) to it
and then cause a segfault, then in the tty start the process off from
where it was. I don't know whether that's possible though.
The more long term solution is to use screen for processes like that.

Another option is to do xhost +localhost as a normal user, then export

Assuming your display is :0.0

I don't know much of the way things work here, but you can probably use:
strace -o sulog.txt su -
[the final - is optional - man su]
Then read sulog.txt, it might give a clue as to what it was trying to do.
strace is in the strace package - if you can't install because you're

I'm sure someone will give a better answer, but I'd use strace to find
out what file it's trying to execute.
I guess somewhere in /var/apt though.
