Hello,
I don't know how to solve this annoying problem: when viewing pages with
certain characters, such as s or z with carons, they look fine. But when
I print them, those characters are added some space on the right (for at
least another character's width).
Does anyone know how to solve it?

Hello,
this is very disturbing -- when my X server doesn't shut down smoothly,
it leaves some junk behind on the tty it was running on. The result is
that next time I startx, it doesn't use the same tty anymore.
What can I do to get rid of this annoying problem?

Hello,
I'm helping a friend configure his first Debian/Linux box. He's got adsl
access to the internet but I don't really know what it is -- if I'm not
mistaken, he needs kernel 2.4 with pppoe support and the pppoe programs
(pppoe, pppoeconf, ...). Is there basically anything else?
Thank you,

Hello,
I don't really understand the jigdo method yet. In fact, I know nothing

So how will I be able to resume

Hello,
suddenly, all my consoles went blank after trying to open a file

Since I wasn't using screen at that time, would there be a way of

just to avoid going through
Hello -- I'm having trouble unmounting a drive. In order to do some

then mounted the /cdrom directory

Can I have more entries in my /etc/printcap for one printer? I
wanted to be able to chose which filter to use for a certain job --
so I simply added one more entry with a different spool directory
and a different magicfilter. Unfortunately, it didn't work; is it

Could anyone tell me which font does have the "outline" shape
available for use in latex and where to find it? Please, I need it
quickly. The manual (info latex) only says this much:
_
`\fontseries{series}'
Select font series. Valid series include:
[.
In file , each section (paragraph?) begins exactly with
and ends exactly with . How do I print only those sections that
include the string ?
Thanks,

Hello,
can someone please tell me how to instruct sed to make an empty line
before a certain pattern? For me, the same would be to make a new
line every N lines.
Thank you.
e.g.
Package: foo
Pin: bar
Package: ...
etc ...
ing something to IFS?
Even if it was a mistake -- is there no other way then quoting? A
quick look at some manuals gave me the impression that this problem
might not be just a silly mistake of mine, can it?

Quite self-explanatory -- how to make a string of space-separated
words act like a single variable, e.g. first argument being the
recipient and the second the message or similar?
Thank you,

Hello.
Lately I've added some cds (woody from linuxiso.org) to my
sources.list. I'm running woody installed from the net; the ftp
sources are also in that file. Since quite a few packages I wanted
to install were grabbed off the net, I assume that those weren't on
my cds -- following some previous
I've seen some LaTeX discussions here, so just a quick question:
how do I tell LaTeX that a box should have the width of a certain
word? (Precisely, I mean a real box; a rectangle of given
dimensions.)
Thank you,
andrej
name it, and tell where it can be found.

Hello.
Something strange has happened to my file systems: I've resized a
partition (ext2) with parted, installed windows on another. On my
other disk I have woody which I mostly use. But now parted says
/dev/hda1 is ext2, whereas fdisk says it's amoeba. What's wrong?! I
can't boot potato anymore!

Hello!
I updated grub to 0.9 and it totally amazes me! So many new commands,
great! I've also found a document that describes my situation in
detail.
The solution is to tell grub the first partition be hidden and then
boot from a windows floppy. What simplicity.
I haven't tried it out yet! :)
