That's not such a big deal if you use KDE as your environment because that's loaded once on startup.

Just off the top of my head, I think that it's probably a bad idea to give a user the direct ability to mount on a loop device. How do you control what the user mounts? It's an invitation to figure out how to build an fs image with an suid binary on it and root your system, mount -o nosuid,nodev --there's no difference between a loop device and any other device. There's the same problem with removable media, network shares, etc. It's just mount(8) will not accept `-o' switch from a non-root user. And don't think it's of no use: Anywhere superuser can use the loop device (encryption, fs-images, games, simulation, ...) mere users would use it, too. It's even cumbersome sometimes to do these things as root. Ok I knew there was probably a reason. In this case I'm the only one mounting and I'm the only user on my system so it would just be to save me some extra keystrokes.

No. In general, dpkg's options to change the root are useful if you have a chroot environment, or if you somehow otherwise have a complete working system installed somewhere other than / (e.g., you're booted off of a rescue CD and your hard disk is mounted on /target or something). The best you could do with this approach is install X stuff in /opt/usr/X11R6/..., and even that wouldn't work because the X server will do things like look for its configuration file in /etc/X11 (and has, in the Debian build, never heard of /opt). As far as X goes, IMHO the easiest way to get an XFree86 4.3 X server (because that's what you're really after, right?) is to download the Xxserv.tgz and Xmod.tgz binary tarballs from xfree86.org, unpack them somewhere like /usr/local, and repoint the /etc/X11/X symlink to point to them. There are also various backports, plus the ~official Debian experimental packages; search the list archives for details.

This is a example one can find on one of the links

An example from the phone list:

1548 Kerry 534
To match a line that starts with a 1,
has some digits, at least one space
and a name that starts with a K we can write:
grep '^1[0-9]\{1,\} \{1,\}K' phonelist.txt
or use * and repeat [0-9] and space:
grep '^1[0-9][0-9]* *K' phonelist.txt
=Why, in the first example, has the author
prefaced the char 'K' with the one or more
times multiplier? He only wants to find a
name beginning with 'K'(!)
Then, in the snd grep command he doubled
'[0-9]', wouldn't only '^1[0-9]*'be
sufficent? Again, 'K' is prefaced with the
asterisk which doesn't seem necessary to me.
That \{1,\} in the first example applies to the space.
* means to match 0 or more of the preceding character. Using
[0-9][0-9]* means to match 0-9 1 or more times. As a side note the '+'
character is supposed to do that (match 1 or more occurences) but I've
never been able to get a match using it.

need some dhcp help
OK I've tried pump, dhcp-client, dhcp3-client, and udhcpc and can't seem to get any of them to request a hostname from my dhcp server either on bootup or calling them from the command line.
