Is there a debian package for the shockwave plugin? If not, how's the best way to install it on my system? I've had a little success using alien -i [package name.rpm] to install rpm packages but using the same for tar.gz packages doesn't seem to work. I'll be reading the manual for alien, but in t

Netscape crashed my network connection?

I'm running potato, via storm installation. Netscape crashed and took with it my network connection. I couldn't ping any remote host. I did a `ps' and removed a lurking netscape process but still I couldn't get any kind of network connection. I hated like hell to reboot, because I want to be be

exim and multiple alias files

Can exim handle multiple alias files? I tried switching to sendmail for this, but whatever I did playing with postfix to see what it was about before removing it, made everything halt up in mqueue under var/spool, I think. Mail wouldn't even go to local users, using exim fixed it,

mail and domains

Is there a good free email host that I can point mx of a domain to that will store mail until I come online to retrieve it? I suppose all mail forwarding to one pop account gets fishy with email lists and friends you want to give an address to on your domain. It seems that moderate

Re: Emacs meta-key

Depends on what keyboard map you're using. I'm running xfree86 4.0.1 from Brandon's phase1 debs, but it's about the same way under 3.3.6. If you have a keyboard with the windows keys you want to select a 104 key keyboard; then the window key is 'Meta' and the alt key is 'Alt'. Or if you use the 1

Re: Shockwave Plugin

There's an install script in nonfree. It tells you to go to an url and download the plugin. Then tell the config script where the file is downloaded and it installs. "Dale L . Morris" wrote: > Is there a debian package for the shockwave plugin? If not, how's the > best way to install it on my
