Hi,
You need the xbase package. Dselect will tell you what else xbase depends
on, so start off with that. Basically, you will need the xbase package,
an X server package, X libraries, fonts and a window manager; all of which
are in the X11 section.
Have fun. :)

Look at the dependancies. debhelper on bo needs perl and fileutils
upgraded first. It is a package of scripts, so it doesn't care about libc

Hi,

A few questions about netscape's settings:

WindowMaker. As a bonus, it's similar to afterstep in look & feel.
To be fair, the config file for wmaker hasn't quite settled down yet,

I'm having trouble using the USER, REMOTEUSER, GROUP, and REMOTEGROUP

For example, if I use: (/etc/lpd.perms)

Netscape maintains its large cache in ~/.netscape/cache, which it

Hi all!
I am having a problem with my SB16 PnP. Can anyone help me?
It all seems to work fine using isapnp and sound compiled in as a
module.
It seems to be detected fine as shown here:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# insmod sound trace_init=1
Sound initialization started

O.K., I just wiped my laptop to install Debian 1.3.1 (again), and have
run into a problem. I have installed the system (plus some), recompiled
the kernel with all the appropriate stuff and sundries, and generally

Sorry, I forgot a couple of things. First, I am using a 3com 3c589D card.
Secondly, when I reboot the machine, I get the following errors when
trying to recognize the card (?):
socket 0: 3c589D
/lib/modules/2.0.30/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o: unresolved symbol . . .
(there are several lines of this)
