Nutcase, please don't bother Branden. He gets far too much email as it is. Before installing the 4.0.1 .debs, please check the debian-x archives for Branden's mini-faq. Reading it will likely save you some trouble. (Though Branden, it has been several weeks since I last saw one posted to the list -- is it time for a going-over and re-release of the mini-faq? :)
Once you have read that, and some of the introductory notes on xfree86.org, feel free to add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb http://samosa.debian.org/~branden woody/i386/ * Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [001030 05:19]: > ----- Forwarded message from nutcase <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- > > From: nutcase <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: xfree 4.0.1 via apt > Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 12:24:32 +0100 > Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.73 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.17 i686) > X-Accept-Language: de, en > > hello, > > i am a relative linux-newbie, and an absolute newbie with deb-packages. > so can you eventually tell me, if xfree86 v4.0.1 is apt-getable? > If so, please tell me what i have to insert into my sources.list, that > ypt can find it itself. > > thank you > > nutcase > > > ----- End forwarded message ----- > > -- > G.
