Dear Gabriele, Please DO NOT send mail to Branden! This is mentioned in various places.
The DEBs in the woody directory do not like being installed on a potato system very much. With this in mind, you have two possible (debian) choices: 1. Read: http://cpbotha.net/building_brandens_phase2_debs_on_potato.HOWTO and build debs for potato yourself. 2. A UK mirror of DEBs that I built for potato of the v18 phase2 debs might become available soon; wait for that. > I am a Debian Italian user, who just installed potato on his PC. In an > Italian Linux newsgroup, I've been addressed to your directory where the > XFree 4.0.1 packages for woody are stored (btw, I hope that was not a > 'secret' or 'reserved' directory, though I know it's just for developing > purposes). I have a TNT2 Nvidia Riva video board, and I need 4.0.1 to run > the recent Detonator drivers for this. I'd like to ask you, if it's not of > too much disturb: > > * May I install those packages (with all the caution and such) also on my > potato, or I'll run into unrecoverable problems? > > * In case that I can, which packages do I actually need? > > * In case that I can't, could I install 4.0.1 from another source (such as > the original .tar.gz)? > > I apologize in advance if I've been annoying to you, and I thank you for > any help you will give me. -- charl p. botha | computer graphics and cad/cam http://cpbotha.net/ | http://www.cg.its.tudelft.nl/
