X window!!!
Hi guys, this is my second mail on this particular subject because I didn't get any response in my first mail. Maybe because the people that had encountered a similiar problem didn't have a chance to read this mail yet, but anyway I giving this a second try so if you get two copies, I am sorry. OK, here it is. I configured Xfree yesterday and I have entered in all the valid information for my monitor, video card and so forth. But afterward, I run startx and it gave me this error message: System: '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w l -R/user/X11R6/lib/X11.xkb -xkm -m us -eml The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:-emp -eml Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the xserver keymap/xfree86 /var/tmp/xfree86.xkm wait for X server to shut down. -- Do you guys know what this message means? Thanks so much, Tam

Newbie needs help on X win!!!
Hi guys, Hi guys, I just install slink and all of the packages that I need. Now I want installl X window but I don't know which packages to install.

Newbie needs Help!
Hi everyone, I didn't get much responses the last time I post this message, but probably because the people who know about this problem didn't have chance to read this. Anyhow I post this message up again and hopefully there will be someone out there who know how to solve this problem. (I am really anxious to install the rest of the packages so please help :) ) Ok, here is my problem. I just install slink yesterday using the floppies method because I can't boot from my Matsushita/Panasonic CR-563 CDROM. So I install the base system using the floppy set and everything went great. I got the base system installed, YES Anyway, the problem lies when I try to mount my CDROM and here is what I did: First, I added a line in my /etc/fstab file. The line is /dev/sbpcd /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user and then I try to mount it like this mount /cdrom but it gives a this message special device /dev/sbpcd is not found (something like this) I don't know what's wrong, so I modify my /etc/fstab file again using this line this time /dev/sbpcd0 /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user but it still gives me the same message. I couldn't figure out what's wrong so I uses modconf to remove the sbpcd driver that I've install and then reinstall it, and still it doesn't work. It gives me the same message when I try to mount it. I think you guys should know these information; When I install the module, it gives me this message sbpcd-0 [11]:Drive 0(ID=0); CR-563 (0.81) at 0x340 (type 0) and then it tells me to do something with the sbpcd.h file...It also tell me to look up linus/documentation/cdrom/sbpcd to information but I couldn't find that directory on my base system so can anyone tell my where i can read it on-line?? When I look the /dev directory, I see cdrom as a link to sbpcd and I also see a bpcd(don't what this is ). That's all folks. If anyone can help, please do. I appreciate it. Thanks everyone.

Apt, Dselect, and Dpkg. What's the different?
Hi all, I am new at Debian and I am kind confused about the Apt, Dselect, and Dpkg programs. Slink was released earlier today and it has: Apt (part 1), the new backend to dselect Apt (part 2), the new commandline I know Apt will soon have a front end (Apt 3 for Potato) that will replace Dselect but for now does Apt (part 1), the new backend, replaces Dpkg program because Dpkg is also a backend to deselect? I am really confused about the relation of Apt, Dselect, and Dpkg. If anyone has the time, please write back and tell what is the defferences and relationship between these programs. If this question was asked before, please tell me the date of it and I will look for it. Thanks alot, Tam
