finally made it through configuration and installation hell (11 hours,
debian feels like stone age after redhat.. which i can put in 1 hour..
with all my favourite environment stuff)
but i had to see what the fuzz about debian is about.
ok, so i headed towards the galeon page:
http://galeon.sourceforge.net/download.html
and it says on debian: you need to have the latest helix (whatever it is
now called, ximian or something) installed to use .deb's to install
galeon. well, i don't think so; i might install updated gnome-libs for
that but not the whole crap. i'm allergic to gnome. and it's late enough
not to have enough interest playing around anymore with installation and
configuration.. it took me only 4 hours to get X working, i had to write
XF86Config from the scratch by hand, because both XF86Setup and xf86config
gave broken results (both work well on redhat, as well as in freebsd), and
this was quite annoying.
and i keep wondering why netscape configuration and stuff are in multiple
places, netscape itself is run by debian specific wrapper script.. very
unstandard... also, i wonder why ncurses don't work; they are installed,
and still make menuconfig doesn't work; which is annoying 'cause now i
have to log in as root and start X to configure kernel; which isn't kinda
nice...
well maybe tomorrow i'll see how galeon works. or not.
