Hi
I've been working on fixing gnome (1) over the course of several days now
but haven't yet got it working.
I'm running unstable.
The problem is that when I start gnome there is no text nor pictures
associated with any of the menu items. The panel appears with
pictures but the background is bl

I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

Hi
I'm forwarding this message again because it didn't seem to get to the

I recently installed Potato and now would like to set up sound.
I have already read on the mailing list some stuff about installing
sound support but would like to check a few things

Hi,

Recently I installed Branden's debs for X 4.0.1c (deb

So, now, woohoo, the desktop looks great and I don't spend much time
in the console.
But my question is - I thought that I h

For the last couple of weeks, my kids and I have all experienced

Hi
I am running Debian unstable on a 30GB drive (IBM Deskstar 75gxp)
using ext3. I recently bought a 120GB drive (Western Digital WD1200).
The family have 5 accounts.
What I would like to do is to make the 120GB drive the main one (using
ReiserFS) and use the 30GB drive for data.
So, the plan

Hi
Thanks for all the tips.
Just want to report that I've successfully moved.
Here are my brief (and terse) notes:

Assumptions: old disk is hda; mbr is installed hda; bios allows
switching which hard disk you want to boot
