I can't seem to get kdevelop 2.0 (woody, kernel 2.4.17) to generate a
project with CVS support. It normally generates projects just fine, but
when I try to make it with CVS support, it bails, complaining that
Makefile.dist doesn't exist or something. Anyone know what's going on??

I don't know how to answer the question you asked, but there is
something you need to consider. Assuming you have an Athlon of the
Thunderbird core or later, you have:
128K of L1 cache
256K of L2 cache
Most CPU's use an inclusive cache mechanism. What this means is that all
data s
ckage, and then freezes. At that
point I have to ^C and restart the apt-get upgrade/install/whatever and
it works fine. I highly recommend the package.

Yes, just now, but I'm not sure how it applies... I don't fully
understand it, and does not mention the NVIDIA drivers. X worked before
I upgraded my video card (from Matrox G200).

I'm very well aware that telnet is not a secure protocol, and would
never install it on a machine that is directly accessible to the outside

I'm running Woody with Xfree86 4, and am wondering what I have to do to

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Not quite... if you are using GNOME or KDE apps, you at least have to
have the libraries installed. Feel free to use the apps in another
window manager, but if the base libraries aren't installed, the apps
won't run.
In the case of most KDE apps, Qt isn't enough. The KDE folks extended Qt

You could try editing your XF86Config-4 file and removing the line that
includes those fonts... Don't know if this will make X work, but at
least it will fix this error.
(I am assuming that since you are running woody, you are also running
XFree86 4.0x)
