I have recently installed Hamm on my computer with XEmacs, Netscape Communicator and Apache working smoothly. Here is my experience, with the hope that it helps. I did the entire installation from old CheapByte CD's (four of them: Debian 2.0 official binary and three extras CD's contaning the Debian 2.0 source, non-free and contrib trees) which I got cheaply. I installed Apache immediately after the base installation, together with X Windows and the bulk of the packages on my system. After installing X Windows, I installed the various XEmacs packages. Then, I installed libc5, xlib6, xpm4.7 and libg++27 from the oldlibs section and motifnls from the x11 section of the main tree. The installation program (I used dselect for all this) then asked me to set the environment variable XNLSPATH to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls", so I added the line export XNLSPATH="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls" to /etc/profile. If I remember right the installation program also asked me to reboot for something or other to take effect; I am sorry, my memory fails me here. I then downloaded the Netscape binary communicator-v404-export.x86-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz, and copied it into the /tmp directory (the gzipped archive itself: no uncompressing or extracting). After that, installed the package netscape4 from the contrib/web section. It found the netscape binary in /tmp and installed it perfectly, together with an extra plugin or two, in /usr/lib/netscape, providing a working Netscape Communicator. > I recently spent a day installing kernel 2.0.34 with full X-windows I haven't yet installed a custom built kernel. I am using the 2.0.34 kernel image which came with the base system. HTH, Raghavendra. _______________________________________________________________ N.
