Hi, sometimes I find I need to install packages from unstable. Last time was when I needed X11amp on my system. This meant I had to upgrade GTK also. Does upgrades like this compromise my system, and will upgraded later using dselect be aware of the fragment of upgrade that have been performed? -

Hi Jim, the problem is easy: your machine don't know where to ask in order to solve the addresses. You have to create a file in /etc called resolv.conf, and put in the DNS Servers you want to use. This is an example file: nameserver 127.0.0.1 domain upc.es nameserver 147.83.2.3 search upc.es names

RE: Video Card Recommendation
