This may be easy enough for some people to fix, but how exactly do
explain to the common man how to fix it when the basic tools (dselect
and apt-get) no longer work?
At least on my system

would like to install Linux on the E partition. Is there any way I can
specify access to that specific partition when I am installing from a
floppy?
Thanks for any information you can send my way on this.

Hi:
I did a stupid thing... I accidently blew away a bunch of stuff in
/var/lib/dpkg I didn't think things were working correctly, and I
wanted a fresh start with dselect. Obviously, I know better now, and I
just restored from tape.
This does pose an interesting question, though. Is it possible
play properties window just closes by
itself when selecting one. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Majordomo was removed from the official distributions, but I needed it.
It was automatically removed when I used apt-get dist-upgrade. So, I
forced dpkg to add it manually. Now, when I try to apt-get upgrade my
system, it won't continue because Majordomo is installed, and has unmet

No, everyone is too worried about creating
