As far as I'm concerned, this was a trememndous feat of collaborating to
save a poor sap some serious chunks of time.

I am working on a project where we need to maintain several deployments of
our code. I want to set up a repostory so we can:
- Package our main code up as a .deb
- Package CPAN modules up that don't already have .deb's
- Force certain versions of packages /not/ to upgrade until we're

Howdy,
X is not starting up for lack of a mouse, and sure enough, cat /dev/input/mice
gives: /dev/input/mice: no such device. This mouse was working 2 minutes
before I rebooted, and it came back up like this.
It has been a while since I've rebooted, so there's the chance that something

It seems every time I install X I have to get someone else's XF86Config...
Every time I try to start the Server, it violently blanks out, where I have
to violently mash The Big Red Button. Anyway..
Could anyone who has the above Video Card E-Mail me the file?

Knowing the answer to this question doesn't matter much, but I am
curious...
Why does a VC go bonkies when you cat a binary file from it? What doesn't
make sense to me is that only some of the chars display wrong, and that
it's only the display that is ruined, but the actual characters are intact

GPM starts fine as well.
I know the hardware works, because it worked when the PC had Win95 on it.
What am I overlooking?

I'm trying to install Debian on an IBM Thinkpad 755C, and was having
trouble with the floppy drive during the installation. (It does fine until

I get:
