Gnome
Hi, I would like to set up the latest version of GNOME on my debian 2.1 (slink) box. However I do not know what is the best way to go about it. Can someone please point me to the best way to install gnome without using apt. Would the it be best for me to use apt (as described on the gnome pages) or are there any official debian packages for the latest gnome deb's if so what else will need upgrading. Regards Grez

Hi, I had a similar problem when I used pppconfig, but i just had to do a 'route del default' before I ran pon and it seemed to fix the problem. Hope this help Graham. Hi. I'm having some trouble with my ppp. It works, but it kind of locks the applications that are trying to get connected (mozzila, ftp and telnet). I ran pppconfig. I'm using the default provider. I just type pon + enter and it connects to my ISP. When I run mozzila, the window does not appear. It appears only when I type poff, and says, of course, that cannot find the domain I'm trying to connect. I put a # in front of the line 'lock' in /etc/ppp/options. Can anyone help me? I know it's a little thing. Thanks in advance. Gaucho. (I post the same doubt on saturday, at the university, but I think the list rejected it - my e-mail from there is not subscribed).
Re: fetchmail woes
The command your looking for is 'chmod 710 /root/.fetchmailrc' NOT chown which changes the owner of the file. Hope that helps Graham. Hi all, After a heavy couple of hours reading man fetchmail I came up with this .fetchmailrc: set postmaster patrick poll pop.dial.pipex.com with proto POP3 user maxy36 there with password ngookich is patrick here options fetchall warnings 3600 But I get this message when I try to run it. rhino:~# fetchmail File /root/.fetchmailrc must have no more than -rwx--x--- (0710) permissions. Also, after chown 0710 I get rhino:~# ls -al .fetchmailrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 164 Jul 12 15:51 .fetchmailrc What am I doing wrong?

Email Question
Hi, I am just about to upgrade to Slink and I was wondering what MTA would be the best to use to allow me to do the following. 1. Send and receive local intranet mail from my servers. 2. Send Remote (internet mail) so my domain would change from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for internet mail only. 3. To queue internet mail until I go online. I have tried this with Exim and sendmail without success, but as i am going to upgrade to Slink would any other mta do the job? Any examples would be appreciated. Regards Graham
