The problem is that everything is within a package, but the relations are not always clear (console-common is not really what I expected). > Locales have nothing to do with the keyboard.

Tell me what you want to set and we'll find out how. Isn't that the problem at all: sure, gimme enough time and I find out everything :-) You know, I reinstalled my pc, replaced suse by debian in the hope, that after a few hours I can continue work. That was wrong just because of so small things... keyboard layout, display charsets, mounting options... It is ok that you can specify each little peace that you want, but in this case you even *must*. A menu which handles the calls for dpkg is urgently needed. > Where does X fail and what version? hopefully we can help you start it > up.

Mmmh... you can specify for each packages where it hast to come from (stable/testing/unstable)? > The new things will never be in stable (maybe except for the couple of > months following release until they get updated). Stable is too old for a desktop system, anyway. Should I change to unstable or is there another way to get it in testing? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
