Hi,
is there a recommended way of adding information about new postscript
fonts into psfonts.map (or into another file), which retains this during
upgrades? At the moment I always need to readd my fonts after the tetex
maintainer changes this file.
Maybe something like modutils do with update

Hi,
I just installed Netscape 3.04 with the Debian installer package,

I use custom kernel versions 2.0.36 or 2.1.132 - no difference.

Well, I tried that before and it didn't work either.

Hi,
how am I supposed to use mmove?
I think it should be called just like mcopy. However, while
'mcopy a: /dos/e' works, 'mmove a: /dos/e' doesn't. The man
page and the info file didn't help.
Any hints? Or is it a bug?
Thank you,
Ulf

Hi,
I've a small "intranet" running with debian. In fact, there are only two
machines which are not connected to the internet.
I don't use a name server on either of the machines, it's not needed.
Addresses are read from /etc/hosts.

Hello,
recently I installed xlib6 (3.3-5) and xlib6g (3.3-5) because these
packages are needed by other packages of X programs in hamm. This resulted
in several problems:
1) Some packages (mostly still from Debian 1.2) depend on elf-x11r6lib
which was apparently provided by older xlib6's.
Hi,
I installed gdb_4.16-10 from unstable. It depends on ncurses-3.4 and
libreadlineg2. However, there are no such packages.
Is this a bug or are these packages missing at the moment?

Ulf

Hi,
I've got a problem regarding the localized keyboard mapping (german)
and an appropriate console font.
After I installed bash-2.0 and kbd-0.94 I couldn't access certain
chars, so I needed to replace default.map by de-latin1.map or
de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map. Then I used 'setfont iso01.f14'

This happens if you compile a new kernel of the same version (2.0.27).
Modules are copied to /lib/modules/[version], so existing modules are
overwritten if you compiled them again but they aren't deleted.
Hallo,
yesterday I successfully compiled kernel 2.0.29 at home. Today I tried
the same at work and it went wrong :( Both systems are equally configured
regarding the relevant packages (dpkg 1.4.0.8, dpkg-deb 1.4.0.8,
kernel-package 3.19, don't know about others).
I did:

How do you manage links in /etc/alternatives (ie. what's the recommended

desired package or do something else?
I'd like to switch from nvi to vim...
