Generally, when you see an advisory, run (as root, or using sudo if
you have it installed):
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
and that should update you.
You should generally pay attention to Security Advisories, because as

Hi,
I intend to install etch with xfce and would like to know how many cd-s do I
have to download that include the base system. I read somewhere that the first
cd doesn't include the entire xfce desktop. Do the first and the second cd
include it?

there are 2 common ways to install netscape in debian
1) download your favorite version of netscape4 into /tmp
2) run 'apt-get install netscape4'
or
download your favorite version of netscape4 wherever you want(suggest /tmp
too) untar it, and cd to the directory it untars to, and run the
ns-inst
I just recently downloaded the netscape browser and I am confused which
directory should I untar it to? right now it is in the directory /tmp but

Hello,
I'm trying to use Debian Linux for two weeks and I have a small problem.
How can we reconfigure a package? For example I've installed xbase and I
would like to reconfigure it through the dpkg command. I tried with:
dpkg --configure xbase
But it said to me that the status is installed.
