Hi,
Hoping someone can help me figure out how to pass the live-media device to the
linux kernel from GRUB, if the live-media is itself on a LUKS encrypted device.
Details below ...

Apologies: Forgot to add a subject line.

Corel is selling the whole WordPerfect Office suite, which includes
WordPerfect and Quattro Pro.

The suite is about $150 a copy. buy.com has a 5-pack which is a better

This is usually some sort of permissions problem. If you ran Gnome for
the first time while you were root, perhaps root owns the .gnome files?
I suggest you become root and execute this command:

To use a Radeon with any sort of Linux you need Xfree86 version 4.0.2 or
newer. This is available under Debian; you will need to install Debian,
and then install the packages to get the new Xfree86. Packages for the

I am aware of the drivers on SourceForge. However, they are not as

Okay, here's my two cents on this topic.
Some printer are easier to get working under Linux than others.
PostScript printers should be very easy to get working, as the
Linux/UNIX world pretty much has standardized on PostScript. If you get
a non-PostScript printer, you need software on your

Sorry, I do not agree. As long as there are patents controlling MP3, MP3
is not sufficiently open.

The Gnome environment uses EsounD, the sound daemon originally written
for the Enlightenment window manager. The actual name of the daemon is esd.
esd will work great with a Sound Blaster Live! card. When you said
"enable sound server startup" you were saying yes to esd, but esd did

I have been looking at the usb-howto file and I will follow its advice

I still wonder how to get *all* the boot messages with dmesg.

all the messages are in a log somewhere; how can I get them out into a

I can use the net when the computer is booted into Win98, so I can

I am using Gnome. I use the whole thing, gdm, the desktop, the panel,
everything. I would like to be able to upgrade everything as new
versions come out.
If I use the command
# dpkg -l '*gnome*'
I get a big list of Gnome packages. But it's redundant: lots of the
packages depend on other pac
I have a Gnome desktop set up and working great. I used the packages in
unstable, not the Ximian/Helixcode stuff. But I am having trouble with
esd, the esound daemon.
esd isn't automatically starting up. I went to the Gnome Control Panel,
and under Sound I checked the checkbox to automatica
ktop running, sawfish-gnome installed and running, and
the CoolClean theme installed. My Linux X desktop is looking great.
Now all I need to do is get the esound daemon going and play my favorite
music in Xmms.

I am interested in why people prefer Debian to other Linux
distributions. Please explain the top few reasons why you chose Debian
rather than something else.
Perhaps we can collect the responses together, edit them, and put the
result up on the debian.org web page. I have looked and looked,
