Hmm. Just tried the newer pppd. It at least doesn't spit out the
error messages the other one was. (The phone line's connected to
the PC at the moment, where I'm typing in the message).
It also has the same version number.
If it's an improvement, shouldn't it supercede the previous one?

For those who were curious, I thought I'd just provide a brief
progress report.
The old "Phase 5" .deb of xserver-xfree86 worked fine.
X permissions are, as someone else previously reported, in
/etc/X11/Xsession instead of elsewhere.
I'm running into glitches regarding available versions of gno

I am stupid. I was just missing the perl-5.6 package.

I've thought for a while that a debian package for building .debs from
CPAN modules would be cool. Since there
I just installed Debian PPC on a 8600 the other night. I started with

Just an observation:
We found ourselves removing and reinstalling debconf

The second observation is that yes, there seemed as of
last week few modules for 5.6, most were still 5.005.

Hi!
The current woody is borken regarding perl5.6: most packages are still
5.005, so 5.6 programs usually won't work since there are not enough

Hi,
Yesterday I bit the bullet and upgrade again for the first time since
begin October. That broke my c++ development environment (need that
for my .sig), so I've recompiled the latest src.rpm snapshot release
of gcc for ppc from Franz Sirl. If you a somewhat decent c++ for ppc,
they're availab

I recently compiled myself a new kernel (Paulus' 2.4.0-test10 on a
Wallstreet PowerBook) and spent a little while getting the new input layer
to be happy with gpm and X-windows.
When I am in the console and try to use gpm to select a chunk
