apt and passive ftp

1998-06-29 Thread Patrick Scott Pierce
I have not looked into the underbelly of apt but I assume it is using the ftp 
protocal.  Going on that assumption, can or is it utilizing passive ftp?  I 
have no difficulties at home w/ apt but at work it dies like an ugly beast.  My 
first thought was the passive ftp issue.

Re: netscape 4 configuration

If I am not mistaken, you must also set the group to root:
chown root:root /tmp/commun...

 I've installed netscape 4 from dselect, but when I try to configure it

 The netscape archive must be in /tmp, owned by root, and under a name
 matching one of the following:
 
 communicator-v4*.x86-*-linux*.tar*
 navigator-vr*.x86-*-linux*.tar*
 
 Am I doing this right, or is there another place where I need to setup
 netscape?

Re: startx giving error message

1998-06-13 Thread Patrick Scott Pierce
You might want to check /etc/X11/Xserver.  It will have defined XF86_NONE.  You 
will need to change this to your actual server which will correspond to your 
video card.

 After installing xwindows CORRECTLY this time, I'm now unable to start

 X:  exec of /usr/bin/X11/XF86_NONE failed
 
 I've already gone through the XF86Setup interface, and everything seemed
 to configure correctly there.  It appears now that it's just not
 catching that configuration file or something?  Is there anything you
 would suggest?

This one is driving me crazy and cropping up everywhere when compiling.  
Anybody got some hints on which package libungif.so.3 is hiding in?
