I have recompiled my kernel (slink, kernel 2.0.36 i think?) to
supportsound. I can now play waveforms catting to /dev/audio, s3mod works
and I canplay xkoules and quake with sound. The problem is that the volume
isextremely low. The sound is very faint even when I turn the amp up to
100%,whi
I do not understand this. Why isn't kanjidic installed? Not that I need this
particular package, but this _should_ work, shouldn't it? I use slink,
kernel 2.0.36 on a pentium-based system. (the below was cut-n-pasted from an
xterm. I only changed the prompt.)

Hello,
I am trying to install a printer (HP deskjet 510) on an old
machine. I have removed a lot of packages here, especially much of the
networking. 'echo hallo >/dev/lp1' as root works. I installed the lprng
package. 'echo hallo | lpr' gave some confusing error messages (sorry, don't

Hello,
I just installed a new HP Deskjet 880c. I installed 'apsfilter' and chose
the 'cdjcolor' driver. I can print from Lyx fine, but I can't seem to get
nice output from the GIMP. How exactly does this work? Saving the same image
and printing it in Windows (Photoshop 5) does work.

Hi,
I use Debian on an old 486. I removed a lot of packages (especially
networking) for speed. Now when I decided to install a printer, I installed
the 'lprng' package.
'~#echo hallo > /dev/lp1' works as expected (staircase, but it works)
'~$echo hallo | lpr' gives a message similar to 'network
Hi,
I just got myself a 'theme' for wm at themes.org. Looks great, especially
with those pseudo-transparent eterm backgrounds. I found it impossible to
use the 'home' and 'end' keys in an Eterm, while they do work in an xterm...
Why? Can I enable them in any way?
I told WM to launch an Eterm on s

I suggest we all send a couple of unstamped envelopes to these adresses,
just to annoy them like they annoyed us.

After having crashed my slink-with-a-bit-potato, the following
appears on boot:
---
/dev/hda5 contains a fs with errors, check

I recently came across a program (for which I have not found
the source code, though it may be available) which seems to depend on libc4 (it
gives the error message 'file libc.so.4 not found' or similar). There is no
Debian package for slink containing this library, as there is for libc5. Doe
A friend of mine has recently installed Debian (well I did it for him, most
of it). Now he's suddenly having trouble with his X Menus: They work fine as
Root, but the menu is empty as a user! I couldn't reproduce this here, and
have no idea what could cause this behaviour. Any ideas?
