One of my machines running woody has developed a notion that it should

I'm currently using sid's Gnome 2.4 and alsa 0.9.8-3 with an Intel

Whoops, must have been a fluke on my end, purged it and reinstalled and
I've got it back now.

Sorry to shift away from the original topic, but does anyone know what
happened to the 'Blackbox' submenu in the default blackbox menu in
unstable?

Other Non-US mirrors are listed here:

Ironically enough, there is a United States mirror.

I was wondering if their were any security benefits/pitfalls exiting
between running exim through inetd or running it as a standalone daemon.

I would believe that it's running as your desktop, which would show up
as a Nautilus process (if you're using Gnome at least).

You need nautilus-mozilla, which you can't get because it depends on
Mozilla .8 or later, which hasn't been packaged yet (even in unstable,
it is still at M-18).

Considering that Progeny is based upon unstable, having apt pointed at
Debian's stable tree is a bad idea. Progeny has their own apt lines,

Oftentimes, it's the editor mutt is using that is the culprit. I use

Here's a simpler option than the /dev/gpmdata one.
Just run 'gpmconfig', answer the questions normally until you get to the
repeat_type, and simply leave it blank/turn it off (can't remember
exactly how the program asks you). With the Intellimouse, all that is

Yes, but those running testing still have a sizable portion of packages
from stable/potato that security.debian.org is needed to update.

As I understand it, security.debian.org is still useful if you're
running testing, since someone running testing still has some packages
from potato. Unstable gets security fixes simply from regular upgrades
while those using testing would normally have to wait for the packages
to stabalize before
If you're using woody, you're not going to get DRI to work until
libglide3 gets moved into testing from sid. Glide3 is a necessary
component of acceleration in X4.
As to your list of packages, I think that 'glide-v5' is for Voodoo5
cards, not Voodoo3.
