Anyone here have luck with X11 Cursor Themes? I discovered the concept over at www.kde-look.org last night, and started fooling with them. However, I had no luck. I discovered it's an X-Window feature available in XFree86 4.3.0 and above, so I upgraded (found an apt-source with a Woody backport,

[vox-tech] Make question: headers depending on other headers

I have some source files that depend on some other sources' headers. In turn, some of THOSE headers depend on other headers (e.g., a header defining a structure might depend on another header that defines some other structures). Is it useful to list these 'dependencies' within the Makefile? For

[vox-tech] Move / from one HD to another

I have two HDs in my main box. One is an older ~12GB drive, which is the master on my IDE chain, and acts as my root ('/') partition. The other is a much newer, much larger drive (~120GB), which contains my '/home' and '/usr/local' paritions. The older drive sounds like its death is imminent.
