Hi!
I'm taking part in the DES Challenge coordinated effort, which means
running their client and calculating keys. Now this thing is easy to
use and stays in the background, but every time I reboot I have to
restart the program. Now my aproach was to write a little script put
it into /etc/init.d/
I want to install essentia-doc-3.3.2-0.i386.rpm. According to the

Then alien is looking for a diff file and aborts.
alien -n essentia-doc-3.3.2-0.i386.rpm

Broadway is version 6.3 and we seem to still be using 6.2 from what I see
reported when I start X. Is there a reason for this? Is Broadway still
unstable?

The "offender" seems to be the kbd package,
FreeDOS is the fdos package. It's in dselect under fdos. Incase you
aren't aware of it the package list in dselect is searchable (using a /
character).
Hope this helps.

I've noticed that when packages are missing like that the version number
is actually off. Like perhaps the list was constructed just before an
update arived. The update replaces the package but the package list still
reflects the older version. I have just ftp'd manually to get the
package. I
When you select the modules to install make sure you put in ppp and TCP/IP
modules. Then edit the ppp.chatscript in the /etc directory to dial up
you ISP. Also edit the ppp.options_out file to reflect the correct serial
device. /dev/ttyS0 = com1 /dev/ttyS1 = com2 etc...
Then use pon to dial yo

Hi,
I use Umlauts and other special characters quite frequently.
Those characters which are not directly available on my german keyboard
can be produced under X11 by typing AltGr (right Alt key) and a letter,
like AltGr-q for `@', AltGr-a for `æ' of AltGr-m for `µ' (I assume you can

I just did an install of frozen/bo the other day, and noticed a couple
of small gotchas ...
The disk images still aren't on the mirror (debian.crosslink.net) so I
had to use the ones from greenbush.
The packages list under bo/binary-i386 has an entry for :
unstable/binary-i386/interprete
I installed the debian disks that i made from the ftp site, now what should
