Dselect script

1998-08-11 Thread Liam Healy
Try the mountable option in dselect (see package dpkg-mountable). It keeps a transcript (in /var somewhere? check the docs). Also don't be confused: each of the options (CD-ROM, mounted, mountable, nfs, etc.) is like a separate program and only bears vague relation to the location of the Debian

Help: Xserver errors

Re: xsession vs xinitrc

1998-08-11 Thread Will Lowe
Which is the better one to use with starting X, either with startx or xdm? you don't really have a choice ... startx (and xinit) use .xinitrc, and xdm uses .xsession. One simple trick is to make one of those files and make the other a symlink to it.
