I just installed 2.2r3 on a Libretto and it works fine except that on
boot it starts the networking before it starts PCMCIA so the ethernet

Most distributions hurt if you don't know how to use them.
alright then, i'll expand: redhat hurts especially if you know linux
very well. or can you find convincing arguments for linuxconf??? or
rpm???
trying to install opera, i got dependency errors, which even apt-get
-f install couldn't fix. subsequently i isolated the dependency, and
one of those were liblcms. but an apt-get install liblcms yielded:
