Can't remove Gnus! Help!
Hello! I am trying to remove Gnus from my Woody (x86). The response from dpkg -r gnus is: # dpkg -r gnus (Reading database ... 155492 files and directories currently installed.) Removing gnus ... install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information. dpkg: error processing gnus (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 install-info: unrecognized option `--description=The news reader Gnus.' Try `install-info --help' for a complete list of options. dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: gnus I have tried using the --force-all option, but this doesn't help. Can anybody help me get rid of Gnus? Thank you for your help! Curtis Dean Smith ¥v°ê¿³ Asst.

Re: Can't remove Gnus! Help!
Thanks, everybody!
When I opened a new xterm, su'ed, and tried dpkg -r gnus again to look
at the error, I was surprised to see the remove go through smoothly.
Weird!

Where can I find tm (Tiny MIME) for FSFEmacs
Hello! I had tm installed, but for some reason removed it. Now I can't find it again. Can anyone help? Thanks! -- Curtis Dean Smith ¥v°ê¿³ Asst.

I use it with mh-e, often to read some mime-encoded Chinese, but I like it for activating URLs in mail messages. I tried installing wemi first, then semi, but I just couldn't figure out how to make it work.

Should I put Ximian on my Potato?
Hello! I am running Potato, but am getting impatient for some of the newer Gnome apps (like gnumeric 1). I have not found much comment on the pros or cons of installing Ximian Gnome on Debian Potato using their red-carpet, but I am a bit hesitant since my last experience with Helix on Potato (it crashed my xfs). Can anyone give me their experiences and/or advise? Thanks! Curtis Smith
where's my USB floppy?
Hello! I just bought a new Sony Viao GR-311 laptop with the Vaio USB floppy drive. I am new to USB, and so am not quite sure how to access the floppy. I have a March mirror of Woody installed, and threw kernel 2.4.17 on. Where should I look. BTW, I also had to recompile to get the Frame Buffer support for X. Is this the right way, or can the pachaged kernel do ATI Radion Moble FB? Thanks! -- Curtis Dean Smith ¥v°ê¿³ Asst.

As above, what is the difference between the regular kernel packages and "bf" varients in testing? Thanks! -- Curtis Dean Smith ¥v°ê¿³ Asst.
