It works for me, even though there will be certain issues, like duplication of ttfonts on the system. Comments appreciated, especially if there are better ways to do it. There is something called symbolic link in unix. 'man ln'. Just cd /usr/share/abisuit/fonts/ ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/some.tff some.tff Or take a look at defoma package. -- Best regard hashao

The .deb packages appear to be missing the configuration scripts and documentation. The Roaring Penguin site only has information on the latest version, version 3.0, which depends on libc6 2.2.2 or greater (and is currently part of Woody). This, of course, has a lengthy dependency chain, breaking Potato completely. Unfortunately, I can't upgrade to Woody, because I can't connect to the net with Debian yet.

Galeon's running with about 17 tabs open. I'm starting to cut into swap. OK, when system finds start running from cron, things start to bog down a bit. I am not using the tabs things. Switching between windows are nightmare. Maybe tabs are a lot better. Just out of curiosity, why do you only have 64 M on the box? Memory's cheap, and even old-style DIMMS aren't too bad if you're looking to go to 96-128MB worth. Yes, I am gonna get 128MB more. But the fact is if IE5.5 under win2k and netscape 4.77 under linux2.2.19 run fine with 64MB, 128MB should not be a requircy.
