You are asked to setup a non-root user as part of the NetInst. This is the User that I setup. Yes, as Dave said, you have to use smbpaswd as root to add new users which can access samba. Then you have to setup your /etc/samba/smb.conf file to define shares, which are portions of your filesystem

Michael, Why not just use a std::set here? Repeated inserts of the same value will be ignored. True, but that will use extra memory. Since pointers are iterators, this can be done on ordinary array in place without extra memory. Only thing is that unique() function modifies the original array

std::set does _not_ waste memory. Paul, Yes, but I didn't say it wasted memory. I said it would use extra memory, since the original problem was posed as finding unique values in an array, I assume you are given an array of values up front with which to work with. In this case, inserting all th

This line tells you that fontconfig is simply ignoring the font. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you placed a true type font there. It works with true-type version of the same font (from this url: http://www.proggyfonts.com/index.php?menu=download): $ ls -l ~/.fonts -rw-r--r

All I can suggest now is that you copy the font to one of the system directories listed when you run 'fc-cache -vf' (without a directory argument). Seems a lot of trouble to go to just to use a font, doesn't it? Fortunately, defoma does all this work for you in the case of official Debian font pac
