Re: potato to woody troubles
I just got the same setup to work on my computer without upgrading to woody, have you thought about that. Just follow the steps below. 0) Compile and install the 2.2.19 kernel 1) Download the binary packages of X from xfree86.org and install 2) Download kde 2.2. Compile and install. Follow the directions on kde site. Make sure to build qt with gif support ./configure -gif. That is all there is to it. As you compile kde it may complain about the lack of some libs, install those using apt-get and eventually you will have everything you need. I don't know if the above process makes your system more stable, or you would be better off installing woody maybe somebody else can comment.

Re: Graphics in C , I mean GnuC
The best graphics programming system is SDL (libsdl.org). It even allows your programs to run under Linux, Windows, Mac, and BeOS. If you are looking for a gui system try Fast Light Tool Kit (FLTK).

Here are the steps I took: 0) Installed fresh Debian 2.2r2 Potato without X! 1) Went to Xfree86.org and downloaded the binary packages for Xfree. Read the instructions is is very simple. Look at your xfree log after wards and make sure your running 4.1. I use xf86config to create a default configure file. 2) Got the kernel source for 2.2.19 from kernel.org installed and compiled the kernel. I didn't use the typcial Debian way of compiling the Kernel just did by hand. 3) Get the latest NVIDIA drivers from nvidia.com. The documentation on the web site is good. 4) Compiled the nvidia packages GLX and KERNEL and installed them. 5) Loaded the kernel nvidia kernel module. 6) Changed my X configuration file like specified in the nvidia documentation. 7) Made sure my driver was working correctly by looking at the xfree log file. That was it, simple. Be prepared to spend some time, it took me about six hours, but now I can play Loki games like Soldier of Fortune. -- Todd V. Rovito [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carpe Aptenodytes!

Mutt Question
I have procmail set up to filter my mail into folders for the list servers I belong to. Some days I just don't have the time to read the mail in that particular folder (or list server), I would like to be able to perform a mass delete in that folder. What keys can I use in mutt to delete all the messages out of a folder? -- Todd V. Rovito [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carpe Aptenodytes! "Seize the Penguins!"

Re: opera browser

Re: exim loosing mail?
To fix this problem 1) /usr/sbin/exim -q (this will deliver all your mails) 2) set smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 0 in your exim.conf file. This will allow you accept as many emails as you want.

ispell no hash
I have just installed Debian for the first time, and am very impressed with it. The ispell program seems to be missing the hash tables. I did "apt-get install ispell" to install ispell. Does anyone know where I can find the hash tables so ispell will function? Or how do I build them? I can not find a dictionary file on my system. Any help you can offer would be great. -- Todd V.
