Given your hints that there is a point in the installation process where you can choose to install Woody instead of Potato, I wiped my disk for the third time and proceeded with a reinstall. Failure. I noticed no point which was an opportunity to install Woody and ended up with a Potato box again. I quickly fixed LILO to let me get back to Windows 2000 so I could e-mail this message. I read over the installation manual included on the Debian CD in both HTML and PDF format with no enlightenment occurring. Mommy, make Debian give me Woody! Bahahaha -- Yes, I'm almost at the point of tears, at least metaphorically speaking. Robert P.S. Nor can I find a document entitled "How To Select Potato / Woody / Sid" on GNU/Debian. P.P.S. Could you please send me your e-mail address again as the previous mail is on my Linux partition. First of all, 90% of the time woody is broken. If it's a leading-edge dist you're looking for, use sid. Your system coulkd be rendered useless ussing the woody tree.

Re: kde.tdyc.com unreachable?
Giacomo Mulas wrote: Hello, I browsed through the list archives (I am not subscribed) first, but I could not find any mention about this: are there any persistent problems with the kde packages for potato that used to be available at kde.tdyc.com? Apparently, only some of the authoritative DNS servers for the tdyc.com domain know the hostname kde.tdyc.com, those who do answer 128.196.206.206 but the host at this IP number has been unreachable for some days now, apparently because of some firewall in between. Actually, I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping 128.196.206.206 PING 128.196.206.206 (128.196.206.206) from 192.167.8.254 : 56(84) bytes of data. From 192.80.43.33: Packet filtered Now the questions are the following: 1) has the apt'able archive of kde packages for potato been taken out of line or have some networks (including mine) been filtered out upstream for some reason? 2) is there any other up to date apt'able mirror available? I cannot look at the web pages at kde.tdyc.com myself, since it is unreachable from here 3) is there any other up to date mirror offering the rsync service? I maintain some 15 debian potato boxes here and for that reason I have been keeping a local, unofficial, partial mirror of the kde packages for potato, which is now out of date.

Someone should take a > look at this. The chooser works when you issue an indirect query: X -indirect :1 You also need to modify /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess or /etc/X11/kdm/Xaccess (depending on the dist.) to allow indirect and direct queries and enable the chooser. This must be done on all hosts which you would like to remotely access. * <--- For direct/broadcast queries (allow ALL hosts) * CHOOSER BROADCAST <-- For indirect queries (allow ALL hosts) Also, make sure you do not have a line in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config or /etc/X11/kdm/xdm-config which reads: DisplayManager.*.authorize:true Either remove this line or change it to false. Setting this to false will allow hosts to connect to any display, other than :0. MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication is disabled. Broadcasts are sent out on the network when the X Display Manager is loaded. In turn, each host contains a dynamic list of all available hosts. An indirect query to ANY host allowing indirect queries, even localhost, will display all currently available X clients in the chooser. The Xservers config file only starts local X servers and is not used for remote client connections. Scott
Default umask for KDE2
Where can I change the default umask for KDE2? I've tried changing /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile to 002; however, KDE2 still reports 022. Thanks, Scott
