Dear list
This isn't exclusively laptop related but has arisen
precisely because my laptop is portable. It is also probably fairly
trivial so please point me to a web page that explains this stuff -- I
have Googled fairly extensively though.

Thanks for your reply Bob. They do provide VPN, but I haven't been able
to find out how to do this under Linux. Do you have experience of this
working?

Dear list,
I did a regular apt-get upgrade on my laptop yesterday, with a lot

Hello,
I'm running Debian unstable on a Fujistu Lifebook P7010. After a
recent apt-get upgrade Emacs seems to have gone missing from my
packages! I tried to reinstall it but there seem to be dependency
issues. Please could anyone advise? More information below.
Thanks for your help

erratum: The command should be

Thanks, that seemed to work. Is there a general problem with this in
the unstable distribution?

Did a dist-upgrade last night to fix various things, and after a

fine.

Dear List,
I have an odd problem with sound on my laptop. It works for my

example, her volume control has a red cross on it and says that

Thanks. My partition table says:

I ran hwinfo and got some information which is at the bottom of this
