The archives on debian.org can be kind of annoying to search, since after you do the search you can't click on any of the messages that were found -- you just get "Not Found" errors. (This is surely a known bug in the search engine.) You have to note the subject of the message that you're interested in and look that up in the actual archives yourself. Instead of using www.debian.org, I'd suggest using dejanews to search the debian-user archives. Using dejanews's "power search" option, you can require that your search look in the group "linux.debian.user", which is this list. Kirk
