Xfree86 has to run on a wide varietyy of Oses, some you even never heard of maybe, so you cannot just assume you are using linux. Friendly, Sven Luther

ch engine, not even in unstable. Apparently, it is a python script residing on ftp-master, don't know more, since i don't speak python, ... I see that none of my packages are in a uptodate version on ppc, is there a reason for this, do i have access on a ppc build box somewhere ? Friendly, Sven Luther

nd it works well for me, also the ability to use it over a ssh connection is rather nice. There is also a evolution package i have heard (even for unstable/ppc i think) that should be rather nice. Also i can send you some procmail/mutt rules if you like, as they may be rather obscure for starters. Friendly, Sven Luther

e index file. You would have to check first, then just copy the mbox format files, get ride of the index stuff, and maybe filter the whole stuff trough dos2unix to get ride of the dos style CR. But please check, it has been a long time since i last touched netscape mail in a window box. Friendly, Sven Luther

d it complains (may be some new policy about colour depth). you have to tell it : DefaultDepth 24 DefaultFbBpp 32 should work fine. Anyway, we never trully use 32 depth, since this is just 24 depth + 8bit alpha channel. I think some board support a color depth of 30 (10bit per component), or maybe even 36, but never 32.

I have installed (on i386) potato (r0 i think) from CD, and this is exactly how it works. it gets the linux file and the modules.tar.gz to get the modules. Friendly, Sven Luther
