Hi, Thanks for all who replied to my previous mail on the mailing list. I think I'm back on it now. Cross my fingers.
I do not know whether I should post the following problems with my 1.2 debian from i-Connect CD here or should I file bug reports. Please let me know if I post these problems here incorrectly. 1. Texbin installation failed because Kpathsea could not convert some Metafont. There was a bug report on this but I could not find the resolution. This Texbin installation failure also caused the latex installation to failed. 2. Netscape could not be installed. 3. if gcc and w32gcc (from cygnus) were installed the same time, gcc could not find cc1. I uninstalled both and re-installed only gcc and it worked. 4. After installed the sendmail package, the bootup process took a long time (about 2-3 minutes long) at the 'sendmail' before the boot(or initialization)it can continue. 5. The initial installation did not create /dev/scd0, /dev/scd1 nor setup the symbolic link of the /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0. Nor the /dev/sd[abc..]9 to /dev/sd[abc..]15. I have to create these manually. 6. the ifconfig in the /etc/rc???/network script were nowhere to be found. 7. All the X related libraries could not be located when running and X applications because the /etc/ldconfig.conf (I think that was the name of the file) did not include /usr/X11R6/lib. I added the entry in and run ldconfig, then the problem went away. 8. there seemed to be some font missing from the 'setfont' package. these font used to be in the slackware (sorry to complain). The font that I looked for were: '8x14alt', '8x14thin', '8x15', etc. I copy these font from the old slackware distribution. 9. BTW, is there a java1.0.2-???.deb out there?
