Bruce was asking for upgrade stories - here's a data point.
I installed my first debian system from the Sept 96 Infomagic set. (I'm a
slackware convert.) I have been happily running 1.1, and it was current
when I decided to upgrade to 1.2. It is now running nicely, with all
weirdnesses resolve

1.2 is released. The announcement went out yesterday on debian-announce
and various other venues.
There are two companies selling CD-writables of Debian today:

Infomagic is coming out with a CD set with 1.2 on it.

Hello, all.
This morning I've been installing some Debian packages, and I've
tried to install the Midnight Commander (../misc/mc_3.2.1-1.deb).
It installed without warning or error, but when I attempt to use
it, there is an error message "Cannot find library libgpm.so.1"

Yes try the fileutils_3.13-4.deb package which replaces color-ls :) tho i
can not seem to get it to do any background colors, only some of the
foreground.

No more color-ls. It is now part of fileutils, a base package, so it is
already installed. Add few aliases to /etc/csh.login for the miracle
to happen (for more info, see /usr/doc/fileutils/color-ls.gz):
I have installed the Offix-2.3a-1 package file and am having some trouble
locating the app-defaults file. I was reading the man page looking for
resource names, and it said to see the app-defaults file. When I run "dpkg
--listfiles", I see nothing installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults.

I'm using the shadow packages from project/experimental, and it works all
right. There were two or three binaries I belive which didnt support it:
imapd, xdm, and ss

You may need to rebuild the kernel and supply the correct
IRQ, DMA, and port information for your sound card.

Thanks to J. Ramos Gancalves and David Ogilvie for the
'ldconfig' command. I don't know very well Linux, so I
didn't know this command. I'll attempt it.

For the umpteenth time. You don't need these links to compile the
kernel.
i had the same problem when installing LaTeX, but it worked fine after i added
/usr/X11R6/lib to the ld.so.conf file. did you run ldconfig afterward to
update the library links?
