Hello,
I was wondering whether anyone here uses openlook and whether they have
ported the many interesting xview/openlook applications that exist (or
know of Debian compatible ports). I've found a site at
http://step.polymtl.ca/~coyote/xview_main.html
which has libc5 binaries but some of them don'
Does anyone know where ISO-8859 fonts are located?
For some reason, the second time that I installed Debian 2.0 and X, these
fonts are missing, and so I'm getting messages that I never before seen
from gimp, netscape, textedit, ghostview, etc, that say they cant find
these fonts. I installed the
I just reinstalled my debian 2 system and now I'm finding that I get error
messages whenever I start netscape or gimp or xview-textedit etc.
Here's what Netscape says:
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct

Interesting ... after reading the above messages, I decided to check out
my /var/log files and found a whole suite of "in.telnetd[XXX]: connect"
statements.
Should I be worried ... or does Debian come secure out of the box?
Also, is there any way to have a message pop up whenever someone is

Thanks for the scripts!
The problem turned out to be when WinNT partitioned its part of the
drive, it messed up an adjacent primary partition.
I have one more problem ... cfdisk reads the wrong disk geometry (ie, the
C/H/S are wrong for my drive). Perhaps this is why the partitioning
conflicted b
Has anone got this error?
On installing Debian 2.0 I used cfdisk to partition my 8.4Gig drive. The
first time I did it, I did not like the partition sizes (after writing the
partition info and initializing my root partition) and so rebooted the
machine (by going into the installation option to reb

I'm trying to get my printer (hp dj560c) set up with ghostscript, but the

Hi,
I was wondering whether there are any benefits to using a swap partition
as opposed to using a swap file.
I am running debian 1.3 on a system with relatively low resources (200
megs HD, 12 megs ram), and have it set up to have a 12 meg swap partition.
But, today I found out about mkswap and ho

I was just wondering whether anyone has got Spice from Berkeley (3f4) to

Has anyone installed Debian on an IBM ThinkPad 380ED?
When I boot off the Rescue disk my machine just reboots and reboots. It
doesn't get past the boot: prompt.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! (Slackware works but I don't like
the way Slackware installs itself).
Thanks
