Hello fred i3 is a very good wm you need to do this at the cli aptitude install i3-wm i3lock i3status suckless-tools Good documentation http://i3wm.org/docs/ https://faq.i3wm.org/questions/ There is currently an irc channel dedicated to i3 / i think they made it rc.twice-irc.de channel #i3 Also since your going to be booting to the cli you will possibly need to change your runlevl in /etc/inittab http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-changing-run-levels.html (Run level) Also you might need to use .xinitrc or .xsession to boot up i3 Configuration Edit your ~/.xinitrc and add: exec i3 Once that is done type in startx Hope this helps Regards Josef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Once that is done you should be able to tell debian live dvd or your live usb drive once your installing that debian when install to you root and boot will install to whatever parition you laid out for boot .. Also if you have a external or just a big hdd you can always parition space for a recocery or just call it a backup parition at least something big enough to hold whatever you need try (GPARTED) http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ ..

Re: Mailing list organization
Thanks Dsr Do you have any guides ? What im hearing you say is that yes gmail can create and do its own filtering ie.. i have folders from gmail (e.g Debian_User Debian_kernel) What your saying is that i download the mail from gmail .. once downloaded i add the mail to the folders or filter it in a certin way in mutt so it can go to those folders ? What i don't understand or if you can help me clarify .. if the folders are made from gmail how can mutt put the mail in those foldrs .. I don't think i understand the reply if so please clarify in more detail Thanks Josef On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 02:28:59PM -0400, Dan Ritter wrote: > On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 11:19:05AM -0700, Josef Bailey wrote: > > Thanks for the reply > > > > So yes .. im using gmail and its an imap account > > You can use mutt as an IMAP client, in which case you need a > constant connection to gmail, but gmail does the filtering. > > If that's the case, you just need to tell mutt about the folders > that gmail has set up with settings in your .muttrc for spool, > inbox and mailboxes. > > or... > > you can use some other program to pull the IMAP mail down to > your local box, and then use mutt as a mailspool client, with no > further gmail connection needed until you send email. > > In that case, you need to write appropriate filters. > > -dsr- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
