Helix gnome control center freezes
Hi everyone: Since I upgraded my Debian system from 2.2_rev0 to 2.2_rev2, all the Sawfish menus in Gnome control center wouldn't work (appearance, focus behaviour, etc.). When I click on any of those the window just freezes and doesn't show any contents of menus. I know Helix gnome is not a part of official Debian dist but since it happened after the upgrade, I was wandering ther's any conflict between Helix Gnome and new Debian. Has anyone had the same problem? Seung-woo Nam
kernel upgrade
Hi: Is there any special steps I should take to upgrade kernel package? I just burned debian-2.2_rev2 cd and tried to upgrade my existing debian system but it doesn't seem to upgrade kernel package to 2.2.18 which is included in the cdrom. (my existing system is very up-to-date actually. I installed it with 2.2_rev0 and I've been updating with apt-get regularly so I believe there's almost nothing to upgrade) Seung-woo Nam
Re: missing /dev/hda2
Hi: Type 'cfdisk /dev/hda' and see if the partition's there. If it is, you can mount it with the device name and if it isn't, you can make a new partition. Maybe the second partition was st up as a logical partition, in which case it should be /dev/hda5.

Re: Debian & Apt-get
Hi: man apt-get (shows you apt-get manual. Try to get yourself familiar with man pages. They look extremely boring but very useful.) Most of the time, for installing new packages, you can use 'apt-get install packageame'.

Re: FTP Downloading
Hi: If you have a cdrom writer, you can download ISO image from many anonymous FTP servers. Otherwise, I recommend you to buy a Debian cdrom set. It is possible to download the whole distribution directory structure to your hard drive and install it, but I don't think it's worth all the troubles you will go through. I usually download ISO images from Linuxberg (www.linuxberg.com). It's not the fastest but I find it pretty reliable. If you want to buy a cdrom set, check your local computer store and if they don't have one, you can order from online Linux vendors. I've never ordered from those websites so I can't really tell you which one is good but you could try Cheapbytes(www.cheapbytes.com) or Linux Mall(www.linuxmall.com). They both have cheap cdroms that come without manuals.

Re: PS/2 Mouse Pointer?
Hi: When you set up your mouse, did you change the device name to '/dev/psaux'? In debian 2.2 setup, the default is set to '/dev/mouse' and you have to change it.

Re: licq & qt2.2.2-0
I believe the data is stored in '.licq' directory in your home directory. You could just back up the files there and remove the package.

Sound configuration question
Hi: I just don't know where to start to configure sound in Debian 2.2. I have installed sound module for my SB-pci128 card but what's the next step? I've been using RedHat for quite a while and it just works so I've never seriously touched this issue. I think the module loads fine but when I try to open audio mixer in Gnome, it say mixer is not found. Seung-woo Nam
KDE2 installation
I downloaded all deb files for kde2 from kde2 mirror ftp server. However, when I tried to install packages, I got whole bunch of dependency errors. Can I just put the ftp path in /etc/apt/sources.list file and apt-get would take care of the rest? Seung-woo Nam
djscript ?
I used magicfilter to configure my printer and it does print pdf file.However when I try to print a txt file it didn't print anything and in /var/log/lp-errs, it says it couldn't find /usr/bin/djscript. Where can I get this program? 'apt-get install djscript' doesn't seem to find it. Seung-woo Nam
printer setup problem
