I owe Doug Holland and everyone on the list an apology. I am sorry I jumped on 
on you without checking but it was 1:45 in the morning my time and I was 
doing something important so I just snapped and shot my mouth off. I get 
annoyed when people make demands on debian and its devlopers, even more so 
when using unstable, which - as the name Implies - contains bugs and 
problems. 

sorry again

 give chris a break, He is trying to build and upload all of kde 3.1.4 and it 
is certain that something will have been broken or lost in the process.  You 
could always backport to 3.1.3 and wait until Oct 7th for 3.1.4 to be 
finished.

the problem is that kde is very big and it is taking time to build and load 
all the kde packages for sid. Chris Cheney, the guy who does the kde packages 
says that the upload will be done by Oct 7th. You might want to wait until 
all the packages are uploaded.

smb printing

2003-09-28 Thread Peter Nuttall
hi,

I have a home network that has two win98 computers and my debian sid box. I 
have set the printer on one of the windows boxes to be shared over the 
network. Can I print from kde on debian and it come out of the windows 
printer?

I am sorry if this is a little OT but I use kde and kde based apps (such as 
koffice) mainly and I just want kde to print.

Thanks

/dev is supposted to be worthwhile if you use usb or firewire but the old 
system is just fine for any thing else.

hi,

Your first problem is that you are trying to use devfs. this is replacement 
for the /dev system. You need to try the commands lilo is suggesting 
otherwise your kernel will not be able to find your / partion. (i think).

Your other problem is that early versions of lilo do not support large 
kernels. what version of lilo (and debian) are you running?

you could also try building it yourself. this might well fix both problems.

Thanks That worked fine. Two quick questions though;

1. should you run apt-get dist-upgrade as well as apt-get upgrade?

2. what does the -u flag do? the man page is not too clear.

thanks again

hi,

Are you running woody as your base system with sid backports, or a full sid 
system?  Its just that a lot of people have problems with the back ports.

Hi,

is the problem that the flash player has it's own copy and paste system?
I am basing this in the fact that the right-click menu is differant.
