To shut down X temporarily, you can do the following:
* Switch to a virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and log in as root.

* Now, do whatever (you can even test X using 'startx' from a virtual

Hi,
I am using the frozen distribution and I find quite annoying the fact that
xterm (and rxvt also) ignores the meta key. For instance, when running
bash under console, -d deletes the word in front of the cursor,
whereas under xterm -d simply echos d.
Some suggestion?
Thanks,

the linux ftp client is probably in ascii-mode. set it to "bin" and
everything should be fine.

possibly a "mount / -n -o remount,rw" is needed, because without it mount
will try to write a /etc/mtab to the ro filesystem and of course fail to
do so. i don't know, if the mount shipped with debian behaves like that -
the one from suse does. :-(

Can I put the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives

It seems that you'd need the kernel-source and gcc packages.
