Re: 2.1 and games
Ivan, Using dselect again, I attempted to gain the toys/games back. That resulted in a large loss of what I had just installed - guess it wasn't a sanitary idea. Dselect is again downloading all the packages to RE-install. I don't understand how I am supposed to snag the toys/games for 2.1 - or is this what you are saying - they are not going to work on 2.1? tnx and sorry for the abusive ignorance On Tuesday 09 January 2001 17:54, Ivan E.

I just did not put them in the task-kde package...I probably should add them to the suggests line. My rational for this: As maintainer of these packages I have the role of presenting someone else's work. In this case it's the KDE. Well, when I cleaned up the task packages I decided that the contents of kdegames and kdetoys are not a part of that environment. Actually I would not consider most of the kde* programs part of the KDE. Most of them are *for* the KDE. So..I built the task-kde package to reflect a set of KDE based applications that would enhance that environment...this includes all the admin, network, and utilitiy packages. I dropped audio apps into the Suggests section along with any apps that are more system dependent (kppp, klpq, klaptopdaemon) and packages out of my control (quanta). (oh..and -crypto packages). Games and Toys are the least important of all the packages. ***warning*** This is my opinion. :) ***end warning*** I chose not to include them in the task package at the time. (I'll probably add them to the suggests) The individual packages are still there and can be installed like any other game. Ivan -- Ivan E.

2.1 and games
Hello, I added the 2.1 to my potato box - wow! Great work Ivan. The only drawback is I must have my games back. Didn't find them in dselect, perhaps I'm too blind to see the oblivious? Or is there a painless apt-get file I can snag and return my games? tnx and best regards -- Jaye Inabnit, ARS ke6sls e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 707-442-6579 h/m 707-268-4074268-4074//www.qsl.net/ke6sls ICQ# 12741145 This mail composed with kmail on kde on X on linux warped by debian If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid.
