I'm clueless. It shouldn't have to be executable anyway.

Hi Kent,
I set -
-backpath /home/kent/.joe_bak
in /etc/joe/joerc
but each time I try to edit a file and save I get -
Could not make backup file. Save anyway (y,n,^C)?
Just to make sure: /home/kent/.joe_bak exists and is a directory writable
by you, right?
I have a similar setup here
Hi Kent,
Try 'chmod u+x'-ing it. Works for me.
HTH,

can find this in `man bash`, search for REDIRECTION.
Hope this helps.

I've been trying to track down where I pass arguments to the Xserver.
I used to use OpenBSD, with xdm, and there I could tell the Xserver to
not listen on tcp ( -nolisten tcp ) in /var/X11/xdm/Xserver.
How do I do that in Debian?
Try /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers

Hi,
I'm trying to install Star Office 5.2 on Potato (2.2r2). I had problems with
memory at first: not enough space on /tmp ( or, /var/tmp, for that matter).
Great, I fixed that problem (Thanks to those who helped me there!). Now I
get, as root or normal user:
..# ./setup /net

Hi again,
Do I have any control over where startx looks?
There *is* a command-line option to tell X where to look for it's
configuration files (see 'man XFree86'), but IMO it is easier to just make
sure that the file you want it to read is where it looks by default,
i.e. in /etc/XF86Config.
A 2x4 refers to standard size of lumber used in housing construction
here in the United States. It is 2 inches by 4 inches - at least it
used to be.
A 1 meter long 5x10 used off the side of someone's head is a good way
to get their attention!!!
Ouch! Hope my
Hi again,
Thanks for the offer of help, the request files follow. Xlog.log is
the output of the startx command. Please note that I edited quite a
bit of XF86Cconfig to compact it.
The XF86Config file looks OK to me at first glance, but are you sure that
this is the one that actually gets
So I was wondering if you could tell me how to download it.
Try

Should tell you all you need.

Hi Rick,
(1) My only config file is /etc/X11/XF86Config. And there is a link to it
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
Could you post this file, please? Together with the ouput of X you
provided, it should enable us all to fix your problem.
Best regards,

Hi again,
Another candidate would be apt, if it's there. Try putting the CDs
in (no need to mount them) and issuing 'apt-cdrom add'. This should
put them into your apt sources.list. Then select 'apt' as access
metod from dselect.
nfs, floppy ftp, and apt.
Let me try that.
Mmm,
Hi Stan,
Problem is now when I go inot dselect and take choice 1, I am not
offered the choice of installing from the CD's.
Which choices *are* you offered. I get cdrom as the first option. Another
candidate would be apt, if it's there. Try putting the CDs in (no need to
mount them) and issuing
Hi Dominique,
is it possible to build a fourth CD, containing non free debian
packages in addition to the 3 official potato CDs in a format suitable to
dselect, of course.
There are unofficial CD-images of various non-free stuff for potato
available from
Hi!
Sorry, I did not follow this thread from the beginning, and maybe this has
already been proposed or ruled out, but could it be a problem with your
graphics card? I had the square white box cursor problem once on an ELSA
Winner 1000 T3D and got rid of it by disabling the hardware
cursor.
The IBM http server is only downloadable in tar.gz file wich contains
nothing but .rpm packages.
Have you tried converting them to .debs with alien? This should handle
dependencies automatically, if I'm not mistaken.
Hope to help,
Manuel
well i didn't bother, on a previous occasion it failed because the packages
were to new ...
But trying can't hurt, can it? I'd try it myself, but IBM wants one to
register for the download.
Good luck!
Manuel
Hi,
You could go to
http://www.edlug.ed.ac.uk/Mirrors/Debian/dists/potato/cpbotha
where you will find .deb packages of XFree86 4.0.1 compiled for potato.
thanx, but i can't burn any cdrom.
You shouldn't have to.
any ideas? maybe a neat entry to sources.list i could use to get
