I though that, as a general policy, .debs didn't put anything in the
/usr/local/ tree. However, I'm pretty (i.e. 99%) sure that in my slink
r0 install, a few things were put in there - some python, tex, and emacs
things, actually. Anyone know anything about this? Am I just nuts?
Hello all,
I have compiled my kernel using 'make-kpkg' before and found it
relatively painless - as long as I didn't use modules.. Today I tried to
set up module support for my kernel and "modulize" a bunch of stuff, and
I'm having some problems. First, from reading the
/usr/doc/kernel-source-2.2.
I compiled vim ver 5.4h for my computer (i needed the hebrew support),
only it made only vim without gvim.
When i run vim -g i get the graphical interface.
How do i make gvim itself?
It also gives me a message when run under rxvt:
'rxvt'not known. Known terminals are:

This is the only way I could figure to transfer my address files to
Linux.
Sorry about that ...

Well, I can't speak for the Gateway series, but anything that is pcmcia,
I'm looking into getting a gateway laptop.
One thing I'm very leery of, however, is that both the CD-ROM drive and
floppy are hot-swappable PCMCIA. I've directed an inquiry at gateway's
techies about whether Linux will run on the thing, but I'd also like to ask
the debian audience.
