On Wed, 31 Jan 2001 00:00:00 -0500, Storm Linux User whispered to the
router:
!!Well I wonder how long this website will stay up. Hopefully a while
!! longer.
!!
!! This is just a message for all the fellow storm hail potato users out
!! there. Stay with it for now, just because Storm has gone sideways,
you
!! still have a stable current potato system. Just point your
!! /etc/apt/sources.list to:
!!
!! deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
!!
!! Don't panic and go upgrade to woody, there is nothing wrong with
!! potato. I did and I wasn't very happy with it. Some things don't
quite
!! work and you can't go back unless you re-install Storm. And frankly,
!! Xfree 4 is no different from Xfree 3.3.6 unless you are going to play
3D
!! games or your card is unsupported in the older version. KDE2 is
!! available for potato also and works very well. So is Ximian gnome 1.2.
!!
!! If you don't have a copy of Storm on disk, get one while you can
before
!! the servers go down forever. Storm is an EASY way to install Debian
!! >from scratch, Storm creates all those nasty config files for you.
some of us like those nasty config files ;)
!! When
!! woody goes stable its as simple as an apt-get dist-upgrade and all
your
!! config files are set already. (although you should learn how to edit
!! them manually anyhow).
!!
!! I panicked and decided to try Mandrake 7.2, it is slow and it crashed
on
!! me in one day... Hail has never crashed on me. I tried Progeny from
!! CD-ROM, and the installer is terrible (but its still in beta). And
then
!! I tried woody, and got a few broken packages in gnome (libgnomeprint).
!! And I couldn't get some packages of my own to install that worked in
!! potato.
you can just use stable, and point your sources to unstable, or testing,
and get only the apps and dependancies that you need. it works for
me...
!!
!! Since I wrecked my system and did a Storm re-install and now have to
use
!! the debian servers, I have lost the new storm package manager upgrade
!! and the boot module for SAS (the one where you can configure the
startup
!! daemons). If anybody has these packages in .deb form and would like
to
!! email them to me, I would be very thankful!!!!
!!
!! [EMAIL PROTECTED]
!!
!! Cheers and best of luck to the Stormix Team -- it really is the BEST
!! distro available.
