Because I wanted to upgrade the machine , to the latest woody , at
first, I had to downgrade because I was using bunk packages .
So I did, and it told me it needed to remove a lot of packages , which
seemed fine ; Unfortunately, aptget also took away coreutils (which is
not in woody) and nothing worked anymore; still, aptget couldnt fix
anything because it had the wrong version of libc6
Then, I decided to do a full backup, using the knoppix cd everything
went fine, and then I did a simple debian installation;
After an hour or so, I tried to make it use the nvidia packages , but it
seems they ve been removed for some reason, or the hole lot of servers
storing those is down... anyway, I want graphics, so I did an knoppix
harddisc install.
Now, its STILL a mess! in X, the keyboard seems to have some kind of
german setup I ve never seen before (and which wasnt there at all when
booting with knoppix), the sources.list is one big mess of illegal lines
or something , it gives an hole lot of errors, and the kdm login program
sucks
Can anybody help ? When will all servers be up again, will nvidia
packages be online soon again ?
Or is there a way to get this knoppix installation tuned correctly ? the
base config program just jumped into the aptget mess of knoppix,
replaced a printer, and exited
I hope youll be able to help, sorry for the bad shape of the email
Joris
