RE: KDE Fonts Too Large

I had this same issue until I learned how to use defoma (well, the gui for it, actually) to add fonts to the system. As it turned out I only have about 6 fonts, none of which displayed properly by default. With defoma I added all of my fonts from my MS partition as well as a bunch of .deb

Ok, so I'm pretty new to Debian, and I have never created a .deb package (except for the kernel using the kernel tools), but isn't this the kind of thing that could be put into a package so that people who want it could install it? I mean, if I'm reading this thread right, that if the correct

I'm running 4.5.1-7568. I've run under sid and sarge, with no problems whatsoever. The modules compile fine under 2.4.25-1-386, 2.4.26-1-686 and 2.6.3-1-686 - easy enough that I switch back-and-forth (re-running vmware-config.pl) when I'm testing the different kernels. I've used USB, CD,

nForce Board lockups - Was:2.6 and nvidia

Daniel, I have an nForce board and it seems a bit unstable. It was REALLY bad at first, but I turned in the memory for new and now it only locks up occasionally, but I have not found any tips on making it work with Debian and the 2.6 kernel. Where did you find your pointers, and how well is it

Hello, I'm new to the Debian community, but I have used RedHat for about 8 years, and Gentoo for almost two. I must say, Debian is quite good compared to these other distro's. Perhaps RH is more stable than Sid/Sarge, but there is NO way to install a base system from a RH CD. The smallest
