Greetings,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but... I'm using Debian. I
use Debian. I know this list is full of knowledgeable individuals.
;-) Other than that, my question's a little off-topic. Pointers to
where else to ask/look would be appreciated.
I've got a system here that

When I used redhat I could start gnome and enlightenment using the

Is there anyway to do this with debian.

Change all references to stable or slink to read unstable or

stable once Potato is released. You'll

The current directory is not in the default path. Say

Hi Nate,
Don't have any answers for your BIND issue with reverse lookups, but
you've been kind enough to help me on a couple of things in the past,
and I wanted to mention that you should probably look into the

so your servers
I did that once on a 486 laptop ..what i did..
1) install debian on my desktop PC and do a basic configuration of all the
packages i want
2) take a drive image of that partition using whatever program you like, i
used powerquest drive image.
3) burn the image to a cd
4) make a boot disk with the
try
apt-get install termcap-compat
that command is to be used in slink, the package name may be different if
your running potato
(not termcap.compat)
and make sure you are using AccelX5 not v4.

You're both right. In the stock kernels the echo will work and you can
also compile it in so you don't have to do it! :)
I use the echo thing on a potato system I couldn't really afford to take

The on-line help (in Info) is good in this respect, I've found.
In Info (Ctl-h i), go first to Emacs and then search down for `Sending
