dy install to get this Gnome 2
install (removing all my KDE in the process, but that's another gripe
for another time). Is it a legacy Gnome 1.4 setting that's lurking
somewhere?
Thanks for any clues.

I am running Woody, and loading some packages I want from backports I've
found on the web.
It seems that installing the Gnome 2 backport removes my KDE desktop.
I've even found a KDE 3.1 site, but the Gnome 2 install threatens to
remove KDE without replacement.
Does anyone know what the issue is

I installed aptitude, and ran it. It mentioned a few packages that had
updates waiting.
Hello,
I've just re-subscribed, and maybe this is just being discussed now. If
so, I can't see it - I don't have any recent messages before today.

testing so I could install the later sane packages, to get my Memorex

Hi,
I'm trying to get Debian going on my Thinkpad T21, and synchronize with
my Sony Clie PDA.
I installed Woody using packages via ftp, so it's up to date. During
the install, one of the choices is to use 'netenv' to configure the
network. I don't know any better - I'm new to Debian - so I let

With my Handspring Visor, two USB ports are used - USB0 & USB1. It
syncs on USB1, even though it claims both.
I don't know for sure the equivalent for the /dev/usb system, but I
suspect it's the '1' entry, whatever the rest of the syntax is.

Hi,
Is ANYONE successfully hotsyncing a Visor or other Palm OS device via
the USB hotplug system? I've been using gpilotd with Redhat 7.3, and
I'm trying to switch to Debian.
/var/log/messages shows the visor is recognized, but times out without
transferring anything, and there is a message from
You'd think if I was smart enough to write an email, I'd have been smart
enough to figure that one out.
I've got it now.
Thanks,

I am trying to get my Handspring Visor to work, running into a baffling
problem where the module loads, but the visor won't sync.
I thought perhaps I had a bad module and downloaded the 2.4.18 kernel
from the Debian archives (I read the FAQ and used the Debian way to do
things AFAIK). I rebuilt t
