It seems to me that bug #21998 against xbase (xbase provides a manpage
for Xnest) should be promoted to severe: while this bug exists it's
impossible to install xnest.
Am I way off base here?

I've just been testing the new version of dpkg-mountable -- nothing exciting,

I was at the meeting last night when they announced the netwinder.
They said all the tools to develop on the Netwinder were GPL'ed and will
be released soon.

I had similar problems with Windows NT and large drives on
2940UW controllers. The problem appeared to be the wide bus
mode setting ( I forget the exact wording in the adaptec setup).
If I changed the setting, the machine would not boot from the
drive until I either low level formatted the drive

Hiya.
I've a Planetc satfeed and there's a module satlink.c (.o
respectively) which doesn't want to compile w/ glibc.
No prob with that, I added a "-I/usr/i486-linuxlibc1/" to
the gcc call and it compiled.
I've installed the "libc5-altdev" beforehand and the libc5

Is there some good reason why all of the printer filters need
to be installed in /etc? The magicfilter filters, in particular,
make /etc/ much bigger than it might be otherwise. (I understand
I can remove that which I don't need; this is a question about
the optimum default configuration.)

This is my formal announcement of intention to package x11amp, a
graphical .mp3 player for X.
x11amp is a clone of WinAMP. It's free to redistribute, but no
source is available, so it's going into non-free/sound.
Its home page is: http://www.x11amp.bz.nu/

The URW fonts are a set that the gimp home page points to as "good fonts
to use in the gimp."

That's good news. I use eql here and at present have three 56K modems

The one big problem is that the ISP has three boxes and eql needs to have
all modems connected to the same box. This is purely a matter of chance
