On Debian 2.1 systems I always used xntp3 to sync my system clocks. I've
noticed Potato doesn't have a .deb for xntp3, and when I tried manually
compiling from the sources used to build the 2.1 debs, I got an error I'm
assuming is glibc2.1-change related. I've also tried ntpdate from the 2.2
I've got a Debian 2.2 machine running Samba 2.0.5a that I'd like to share
a CD-ROM drive from. Basically I'd like to have the CD-ROM mount and
unmount before and after usage. So far I can get the drive to mount
automatically using the exec option in Samba, however no files are visable
from Windows
I tried to run kernel 2.2.12 on a system with X 3.3.3.1 and the Creative
Banshee server installed. Under 2.2.12, mouse behavior was erratic in that
as I move the mouse left or right, the pointer would move in random
directions. Also, the fvwm2 menus would appear as if a mouse button was

I just compiled Kernel 2.2.13pre9 and managed to get my SB AWE64 working
with the kernel drivers (finally!). However, when I go to run aumix, I get
aumix: SOUND_MIXER_READ_DEVMASK
I built a .deb for Slink using sources from Potato and that didn't work
either. Any ideas? I'd like to get aumix
glibc2.1 is basically Potato -- Debian 2.2. Take a look in there, and
beware... Things might break.

Is gnulibc2.1 available as a debian package somewhere? If so, then where?

Take a look at the 'alien' package to do this. Its listed in dselect.
I just used the RedHat 6.0 SRPMs for Pine 4.10 on my Debian 2.1 systems
without difficulty. Note these are source RPMs and not the binaries.

Take a look at XFree86 3.3.3.1. The version of XFree86 included with
Debian 2.0/2.1 doesn't support the Permedia.

Take a look at the xfstt package. I'm currently using it to gain access to
Windoze TrueType fonts without difficulty. xfstt is part of the Slink
distribution.

Someone suggested I remove .wp8x.set and then try running WordPerfect.
Once I did this, I still had the problem. Any other ideas? I've had
WordPerfect running on Debian 2.1 before a system reinstall, but mow it
won't 'just work' like it did last time.

Look on ftp.debian.org and its mirrors under unstable. QT 1.42 can be
found there, and does work with Slink.

MCA IS supported by the kernel. I recently built a 2.2.x version with MCA
support for a PS/2 386 which I have. You may however have to enable
developmental options in the c/menu/x config menus though.
Dunno about 2.0.x kernels.
