Re: Subject: Can Debian users install the new Corel packages?
You mean like this? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] locate wxftp | grep /slink/ It's been in debian for years, the version in corel is the exact same version in slink. I confess I never thought to look. When I saw the program on the Corel cd I knew what it was and installed it. I guess I never downloaded the packages.gz file for slink from non-free. It figures thought, there are SO many debian packages between main, contrib, and non-free that just about EVERYTHING is there. Now I DON'T think that QSSTV has been packaged, and if it can be re-worked to link against qt2.0 it would even go in main/hamradio. If I was a debian developer I would package it. = Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . __ Do You Yahoo!?

Subject: Can Debian users install the new Corel packages?
I am interested in trying out some of the new Corel apps like the file manager. Is it possible to get hold of individual apps from the new ditribution without downloading the whole iso file? I assume I would be legally permitted to use individual components like this . . As corel's packages are glibc2.0 based they should work well in slink. I downloaded the cd and installed wxftp from the .deb using dpkg -i. WXFTP is a real nice graphical front end to ftp, though I don't think it is free, it might make the contrib section. I have used the windows version and I like it because it has a progress meter. Anyway I had no problems installing it from the corel distro. = Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . __ Do You Yahoo!?
