[newbie] DrakXTools Errors...
Hi All, I am experiencing some problems running DrakXTools. For instance, when running mcc I get this (and similar) errors: Argument CheckItem isn't numeric in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/Gtk2.pm line 107. It seems to be a Perl error. I got similar errors running some other Perl scripts. I have no idea how to fix it. I tried to downgrade the perl-base package to 5.8.0 - no success. Too many deps. I want to use the DrakSplash tool, but I can't due to this problem. Any help? Thanks, .::.

Amen brother! As an American who has lived overseas for about 8 years, I think it should be mandatory for all Americans to live outside of the U.S. for a minimum of 1 year. I feel then Americans will appreciate what they have a little more and have an understanding of another culture. Then maybe we can all live together in peace and help those less fortunate than us.

Re: [newbie] drakxtools
Australia has a similar situation to that of Europe. While we are a majority Anglo-Saxon country, we have very large ethnic groups from all over the world (particularly Greek, Italian, German and Asian). We are not near any other Anglo-Saxon nations (New Zealand doesn't count), yet we are right on Asia's doorstep. That means that when most of us go on an overseas holiday (and it is common for Australians to do so), most of us go to Asia. So in other words we are a majority Anglo-Saxon nation with very strong Asian influences, both from within (immigrants, etc.) and from outside. I myself have Indian parents (you can tell from my name), but I was born and raised here. So what is the point to my little tale? The world is getting smaller via technologies like the Internet and Linux. National barriers are becoming more and more irrelevant, and it is becoming increasingly archaic to ground oneself in one culture and one nation.

Re: [newbie] drakxtools
just to add a little perspective here, most american states are larger then other COUNTRIES. In europe it is not uncommon to be able to cross an entire country in a few hours by car. Yes, a few hours of driving and you are in a region with different Laws, customs, culture, etc. I revently drove from seattle washington to columbus georgia. Go to yahoo and check out that route. It took 3 1/2 days of continuous (24hours a day in rotation) driving at between 60 and 100mph. Nebraska took almost 9 hours to cross at 90 mph. Montana takes around 12 to go west to east across. Huge stretches of this country are open land with a small town every few hundred miles. An airport might be 6 or 7 hours drive away. An airline ticket to England from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport costs between 500 and 900 dollars for round trip (depending on the season). The average income in very small towns like trout creek montana (9 hours from seattle at 90mph) is around 5000 a year. You do the math on electricity, food, gas etc costs and tell me why more americans don't go to europe or asia let alone New York or L.A. or other large American cities. I'm not apologizing for the colloquialism of my fellow americans I merely hope to cast some realistic details into the conversation.

The average income in very small towns like trout creek montana (9 hours from seattle at 90mph) You're neglection the variable time involved on the shoulder of the 90 while the trooper writes you up lectures you on speeding;-).

haven't had any of those, yet.

What I don't get is why there are even "classes", unless you are in school. I went to computer school, so I guess we were 'classified' hehe.
