I want to upload some packages to nonus, but I don't know how.
What's the correct way to do it?
I've tried anonymous FTP to nonus.debian.org, but I cannot
upload files to any dir...
Thanks.

Yes, I could try that. Can the 600 use color and black ink at the same

Also would you mind sending me your gs setup? I'm not sure about

it uses options no longer avalaible in gs-aladin. Or is that no problem

/etc/crontab is edited by the sysadmin and scripts):

rxvt 2.4.5 was announced on New Year's Day. As the current hamm package of
rxvt is still 2.20, it would be great if the new version is available.
There have been many improvements; I notice the difference immediately
when I happen to use 2.20 instead of the 2.4.x versions.

Hi,
just recently I installed gnuchess-book and gnuchess.
I used something like 'dpkg -i gnuchess-book_* gnuchess_*'.
When the packages were configured I got the message: 'note the
disappearence of gnuchess-book, which has been completely
replaced'. In fact, there's no sign of gnuchess-book
