i just removed netscape from my system. an error flashed by during the remove, and quickly was replaced by the main dselect menu. i saw enough to know that SOME directory couldn't be deleted, but i don't know which one or why. at the very least dselect should prompt you to "enter a key" when an

Bostjan, What nVIDIA card are you using? Is it the Riva TNT2 M64? Make sure you are not loading the XF4 DRI module. If X is crashing, it sounds like an issue with the nNVIDIA driver. Make sure you are loading the kernel driver (which is actually a module) before starting X, i.e, check /etc/modu

log rotation, syslogd and debian

Ok. I've pondered but couldn't figure it out. Why does debian not use logrotate for the rotation of syslog files and stuff? It seems easy enough. The only possible reason I can think of is that you folks don't want syslogd restarted after each file. But then that's easy enough to get around by put
