Hi,
Can I, and if so how would I change the text/background color in gedit to be
white on black instead of black on white?
I tried, like for XTerm,
gedit*background: black
gedit*foreground: white
in my .Xresources, but it didn't work. :(
In general, how does one find out about what resources an X
I was just looking at URLview and the url_handler.sh ... it references

Can I just update the file and submit it as a patch to whoever
Hi,
Just a few q's about why I should upgrade to hamm (Debain 2.0).
Are there any issues on what software I can and can't run when doing the
libc5-libc6 upgrade? I know this is an old subject, but i've never
really got a plain english answer as to what are the issues.

Maybe you don't have the kernel-package package installed. Check with
dpkg -s kernel-package . It is in the admin section, if you need to
install it.

According to the maintainer the license now allows redistribution (he has a
contact at NS who said it was ok). It will still live in non-free -- just no
more downloads. The package has been split into pieces. Sounds nice (-:

As I get more and more frustrated with emacs, it keeps occurring to me
that the *only* reason I'm using emacs instead of vi is that it

pppconfig sets the rate to 115200. 38400 isn't fast enough to keep up with

Thiago, you grabbed the libc5 version of netscape. Around Monday a full

I would recommend that you use that.
Othewise grab the libXpm package from oldlibs --> you need the libc5 version.
Make sure you have the xlib6

Following a suggestion appeared in this list a few days ago,
I have installed the xaw95g package and found the new scrollbars
better than the previous ones (I think from xaw3d).
Is it possible to control their colour?
I have found nothing in the docs, except a little-useful entry

I've seen quite a bit going on in this thread. First off,
Is there any way to change the default whois server from the Internic
one to something else? I know that I can specify a different server
with -h, but I'd like to change the default itself. The manpage
doesn't mention anything and there are no obvious files in /etc.

I'm trying to compile a program (Arla) that creates a module called

xfs.o: unresolved symbol register_symtab_from

I also realized that the mcopy from mtools could be used to copy to

but it had the same problme. Here's the output (which stops extracting at
about 1.2gb):
