hi there. i recently installed debian on my powerbook 3400c, and it
seems to run ok, but i still have some problems.
i searched the list archives, but didn't find any information
regarding some of my problems. perhaps someone on the list could
provide some feedback?

Hi,
A little bit off-topic, but I guess a number of people would be interested.
I'm getting quite bored having to type iwconfig parameters everytime I
reboot one of my wireless connected machines, and although a script
could do the trick, I was interested in the debian way of doing.

I've successfully done this in the past. XFree86 should work fine if you tell
it to use a serial mouse. You may have to construct a special adapter for
the serial port--IIRC, it's slightly different from a regular RS422-232
adapter.

That'd be Command + Option + O + F, actually. :)

Doubly so - for not installing the required packages, and for not filing a
bug against xchat.
In order to have build dependencies installed automagically, use sbuild
BTW.

Hej,
I'm having debian 2.2r3 installed on a powerbook 2400c,
featuring a lot of applications like gimp and xfig...
however, it's quite a mess to use these applications
since they heavily depend on three-button-mice configurations.
The solution of having the 2nd and 3rd button emulated
by keyboard

That's your fault.
If build-dependencies are unmet, that means "they're not installed". So,
do "apt-get build-dep xchat" and retry. Should work.
