proper transition to perl5.005?
What's the proper way to install perl5.005? Should I really remove netscape-*? Or will I just wait for unstable to become consistent? TIA Cc: me pls. (not subscribed) -- k e c h i e

vim and the control keys
Hi folks! This is my last resort after reading the archive and the manpages. My problem is that when vim is in insert mode the control+arrow keys doesn't work as expexted in an xterm or the console. It works fine while in GUI mode. Is there any solution to this? Being a DOS/WinXX immigrant, I'm used to that kind of movement while editing :-). If there is no solution to this, I'll switch to EMACS (aaarrgghh! no color on tty's) Please Cc: me (I'm unsubscribed as of the moment (still finding the right solution to filter/sort a maildir)) TIA and see y'all soon -- k e c h i e It's now safe to turn off your computer means computing was unsafe before it appeared. -- m e

The problem is, it's conflicting with the versions of gimp and gtk+ and glib that I have installed at the moment (snipped output from dpkg -l); gimp1.0.0-1The layers-based, non-Motif GNU Image Manipu libgtk1 1.0.4-1The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets for X libgimp11.0.0-1Libraries necessary to run the GIMP just get libgtk1.1.* it won't interfere in any way with libgtk 1.0.*. Of course you would also need the libs/packages that libgtk1 depends upon ;-) k e c h i e

Apart from the solutions other people here suggested, you could install the dotfile generator for bash. It has a point and click interface for changing the colors in your prompt. Tried it. too complex. :-) k e c h i e

I am tempted to just run out and purchase Red Hat 5.2 and wipe my Debian system and leave it all behind me. Is there an alternative? yes there is. compile those latest packages yourself if you have the luxury of time. If ever there are debianized packages for those, those files you compiled get overwritten. It's fun compiling sometimes, you should try it. ciao! k e c h i e
