I expanded on it a little because I have a dialup connection. It's not guru
scripting but it works. This one is for i386 systems. I export the mirror
nfs so I can use it for a couple of machines. Here's the /etc/fstab line on
my local machines (this is supposed to be all on one line):
servername:/mirror/kde2 /mnt/kde2 nfs
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,hard,ro
and their corresponding sources.list line
deb file:/mnt/kde2 potato main crypto optional

connection_up=`ifconfig | grep ppp0`

do_rsync_function ()
{
cd $tdyc_mirror_root

Edit /etc/apt-move.conf so that the line APTSITES includes kde.tdyc.com or whatever mirror you are using in /etc/apt/sources.list. I use apt-move 4.1.13, not sure if this works with the version in potato, but give it a go. > Also, on a different note, is Xfree86 4.0.2 available for potato? No. Try Testing. Simon Hepburn.

It needs a file with the rules to exclude/include directories and files. If you are interested I can send you the one I use. You can also use rsync, which probably, is a better solution. I use that to mirror debian. I think that there is an "old" message in this list with the rsync command you may use for kde.tdyc.com. Wait a minute I look for it: The command is from Achim Bohnet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Arrrgh! Thanks Quim!! I always forget that I can list modules with rsync. Will put it into cron when 2.0.1 potato debs appear. FWIW if someone else what's to use rsync only for KDE2 i386 potato debs: cd "$tdyc_mirror_root" exec rsync --dry-run -v -v -az --delete --delete-excluded \ --exclude source/ \ --exclude incoming/ \ --exclude changes/ \ --exclude qt1apps/ \ --exclude binary-alpha/ \ --exclude binary-m68k/ \ --exclude binary-sparc/ \ --exclude binary-powerpc/ \ kde.tdyc.com::kde/dists/potato/ .

kde mirror
I run several PCs which use KDE2. I have used apt-move to create a local mirror of the main and non-us packages and wish to do the same with the KDE2 packages. Does anyone have a utility (or nifty one liner) which achieves this? Also, on a different note, is Xfree86 4.0.2 available for potato? Cheers Dave Smith

Starting kde
I'm newbie in Linux and X and I hace a question. Each time I run startx, it run automatically the icewm, but I want to run directly kde. I tried to run on xterm the "startkde", it starts kde but doesn't close icewm. I guess I have to modify and archive like .xinit, .xinitrc or something like that, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Compiling Licq, QT-headers
I wanted to build LICQ.. but i keep on running into problems with libqt2-dev which wants to remove everything, and libqt2.2-dev which does not exist (same dependency replaced by uic, which wont install without libqt(?)) Anyway, is there a way to install the QT-headers from a debian package so that i can build the Licq QT plugin? William.

An apt-get dist-upgrade upgraded my kdebase and it was sweet again. i can run kdesktop manually and it work. Should be fine when i log out as well thanks dave
