I decided to participate more actively in this list from now and I think that writing this is the right way to start. :) The only thing that is preventing me is the fact that I use e-mail over bbs (BW/MM combination) and the mail exchange is very slow. And I have some technical dificulties, too. In spite of that I will try to be more active (until I go on vacation, that is :>). Anyway, my first Linux distro was Debian 2.1 in my 7th grade (summer vacation, between 7th and 8th grade, to be more precise)only a year before I got my first PC. Then I used RH and SuSE for a while, and came back to the real thing with Debian 2.2. Now I have finished 1st grade (mid-school, 15 years old) and I am still using it. The only thing I am sorry about is that when I installed Debian, (knew nothing about it, had no one to ask) I didn`t knew a nice feature of Debian - the Debian community. That`s the reason I want to help. While we are at it, are there any Debianers from Yugoslavia here? I woud like to exchange opinions in my native tongue specially about forming some kind of unformal debian-user-society in Yu, if there isn`t any yet, of course. :) Bye! ___ _ _ _ __ ___ _ __ _ _ __ __ ) | \_/ | / _ || _ \ | |/ // _ \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] / _)( |_| )| _) ) ( | _ |( (_| || |_) )| (( (_) ) ( (_ | _ || _) ( )__|_| |_| \__'_||_|\_\ |_|\_\\___/_[ Debian ]__\__)(_| |_)|__) _) ...

printing

You should be able to manage to do the configuration by yourself. If apsfilterconfig reports that he can not find a filter for your printer, just write down its name and apt-get it. Then check for /etc/printcap. There are your printer names. Among them there is raw. Type "echo something > text" then a "lpr -Praw text". A paper containing "something" should come out. :) Probably someone could give you a more sofisticated instructions, but this worked for me, so I see no reason that it shouldn`t work for you.

KDE2 compile...
Hello all! Once again I am in need of your help... I wish to use this chance to thank people who helped me... Thanks guys! Maybe this is a question for an other mail list... Anyway here it goes: when I try to do a "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" KDE2 starts to compile (or prepare to, anyway) and exit with error "aclocal: command not found". I have searched my Debian 2.2 disks for that file and find libguile6-dev and installed it... Now I have directory /usr/share/aclocal and a couple of scripts in it. Fine. When I have re-run the build process it has exited with "execvs: aclocal: Permission denied". Then I have changed file atributes for all of those scripts to 777. This error went away, but "execvs: command not found" apeared. I searched for execvs but found nothing. What should I do to make KDE2 up-and running? Compile in a standard way (./configure, make, make install) works ok, but i want to do it in a Debian way... :) The package has been "debianised" already (debian dir), of course... KDE is v2.01, Debian v2.2, Kernel v2.4.3.

Framebuffer question
Hello! How can I set framebuffer to work using higher refresh rates then 60hz? I have a Geforce2 card and I am using 2.4.0-pre12 kernel which is not going to change soon. Is there a new kernel driver for nvidia cards? There is one for Rivas but not for Geforce2 based cards.
