After 6 months of preoccupation with another project, I decided to do

All worked fine. It's nice to be up to date.

Talk about living on the bleeding edge! In order to take advantage of the
latest and greatest, I use unstable packages. For months everything has been
running nicely.

Went like a charm. Hey this is great! I said. Ten

Poul,
I had this with Gimp, and xmms.
Quick fix (so you can use these apps):
Open xmms. ctrl-P brings up preferences. Take note of the fonts listed, they
are the problems ones. Browse to select something that works.
For the Gimp, edit .gimp/gtkrc in your home directory.

I commented this line out to get it working. Since it now works that way,

Greetings!
After doing a major update to unstable last week, I find that
Star Office won't start. It can't find shared libraries in its own
lib directory.
So I save my work and schedule and decide to wipeout and reinstall.
Same prob - /cdrom/linux/office51/setup returns
./setup: error
Thanks Oliver,
libc6 is already the latest version.
It keeps having trouble loading its own libraries as well.

I think you're looking for console-apt, aka capt.
The same package is being further developed as deity,

Debianites,
Half the attraction of debian is the menu-update system which is activated
by apt-get or relatives.
I've been happily working away and using either WindowMaker Afterstep or E,
mainly WindowMaker. On another machine I installed kde (kdebase_4%3a2.0.1-4)

Aaron,
You can probably play music from a cd with any cd player, you can probably
play a wav file with
play file.wav
but you can't play an .mp3 with xmms. You'll need to recompile a kernel
with your sound card selected.
Have look at the Debian University:

sndconfig is the same tool that you have on RHL.
Lotsa luck

Glenn,
I also lost my backspace key in the process.
In desperation I rang a friend who logged in to my box and offered advice.
It seems that you need to nudge apt to keep going with installation. It
comes to an end, you start to use your machine and then find some packages
won't work.

I have Debian woody on one machine, and in Emacs the Alt key functions as
the Meta-key. That's fine.
I installed potato on another machine (without going through slink). The
alt-key won't function as meta in Emacs on this one. I've used xev to
check. Sure enough alt is there, but not for Emacs.
Thanks ferret,
I've got 104 key boards on both machines. The mystery is why the two
installs end up so differently.
The machine I'm on now, at home, is 133mhz Pentium. I started with slink
and went straight to potato., then up to woody.
I got a slightly better machine at work. 333mz Pentium II.
