1. What package includes 'dpkg-reconfigure'? I have the man pages for this command but not the binary. I seem to have all the other dpkg commands.
trixie:~> find /usr/bin -name '*dpkg*' /usr/bin/dpkg /usr/bin/dpkg-deb /usr/bin/dpkg-split /usr/bin/dpkg-name /usr/bin/dpkg-source /usr/bin/dpkg-genchanges /usr/bin/dpkg-gencontrol /usr/bin/dpkg-shlibdeps /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage /usr/bin/dpkg-distaddfile /usr/bin/dpkg-scanpackages /usr/bin/dpkg-scansources /usr/bin/dpkg-architecture /usr/bin/dpkg-parsechangelog /usr/bin/dpkg-checkbuilddeps 2. Every time I run a gnome app I get the message: Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library The file /etc/locale.gen contains nothing other than the comment-header. I was going to add lines to it, but it says its automagically generated by debconf, so I tried to run 'dpkg-reconfigure locales', but I don't seem to have a dpkg-reconfigure (see question 1.) I want to use the US/english locale, so should I choose 'C', en_us, iso-8859, UTF-8, ? As you can see I'm a bit clueless about the whole locale thing. 3. I want to burn a woody install CD, and tried jigdo-lite, but am having problems. The only documentation I've been able to find just says "Enter the url of a .jigdo file when jigdo-lite asks for it", which I did, but apparently something's broken. Do I need to be root?

The purpose of this is to boot the system to do backups across the net, and for any recovery/repartioning, etc. I have been reading from this page <http://www.phenix.bnl.gov/~purschke/RescueCD/> and intend to try his scripts. I've also downloaded Timo's rescue CD set, but haven't tried it yet. Are there any other tools that you can recommend? Again, I'm trying to create a boot cd for a machine that does not currently have linux installed on it, NOT a boot CD for a native linux machine. 5. In Gnome, I accidently removed the stock panel at the bottom of the screen. How can I get it back? 6. On my win2k box, I have exceed v7.0 and a MS intellimouse explorer (has a wheel and two thumb buttons.) I access my debian box via XDMCP. I would like to configure Exceed such that: - mouse wheel scrolls up/down - mouse wheen click = third button - thumb keys usable (i.e. maps to "Back" in Mozilla/Galeon) Does anyone know how to setup exceed in such a way? What "events" (for lack of a better word) does Gnome expect for these functions? Thanks for any help, Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
