Jigdo-files for Etch are slightly outdated and solution

2007-03-31 Thread Martin Patzak (GMX)

Hello,

I ran into a problem that took me a while to solve.
I am proposing to add this to the FAQs for dealing with jigdo-files for 
Debian, as well as adding this to the Mini-HowTo.


Some of the files referenced in the jigdo file were outdated - meaning a 
newer versions was already on all the mirrors worldwide.

Which was a bit strange, because the jigdo-file was fairly new.

Solution: One can download from the snapshot server of the date the 
jigdo was created:

In my case the 17th of march:
http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/03/17/debian/

Best regards,

Martin

weekly-builds powerpc KDE iso

2007-03-31 Thread Jimmy
The weekly build "18-Mar-2007 03:20 648M" PPC KDE iso did not install 
the KDE Desktop, I installed it using Synaptic and the Network Manager 
said my "eth0" was active but it was not, I had to Disable and then 
Enable the Interface, I'm still installing software and have not yet 
rebooted and will let you know if I find more problems.

beryl

2007-03-31 Thread Bhasker C V
All,

 Why is beryl not part of the Etch testing DVDs ?
 Is there any particular reason ? I installed beryl and it is 
  a wonderful environment. although there are some problems still
  in the WM, still for Etch/testing it will be a good candidate ...

The box said "Requires Windows 95, NT, or better", so I installed Linux.

$ apt-cache search beryl | wc -l
0

Maybe because there's no Debian package of it?

Doubtfully,
Pierre

Even after reboot I still have to Disable and then Enable the eth0 to 
get a connection, anybody know how I can fix this?
