yeah physical position is totally irrelevant, you can have it

Are there differences between the config files used to generate the
kernels shipped with Debian? I am specifically interested in i386 versus
ppc. I have a ThinkPad and PowerBook installed and configured identically
for Debian 2.2 (potato) except for X server and when I try to run dhcpd

We'll also have to update base-files so that /etc/nsswitch.conf no
longer has 'compat' for passwd, group, and shadow.
Oh, and you'll have to run s/compat/files/ on /etc/nsswitch.conf after

Solved that one - the boot sequence didn't seem to like me having a USB

Well, here it comes. Glibc 2.1.94, hot of the glibc release process. I'm
currently building i386, powerpc and sparc, which I will upload throughout
the day and tonight as I build them. These are going into woody. Several
notes for the other ports (the ones I cannot build).

"apt-get install libgtkmm" works for
Is there a .deb of libgtkmm 1.0.3-1.1 floating around? It isn't in the
mirrors I've looked at, and libgtkmm-dev (which is there) depends on it.
