'Quanta' is pretty good and easy to use.Comes packaged with KDE in Debian
Woody, so hopefully is still there in Sarge.
Or Bluefish is a bit smaller and less elaborate, I think.

There are quite a lot of distros out there 'built on' Debian, notably

I re-installed Debian last week, this time I settled for what Tasksel gave
me, intending to install the rest later, and sure enough, the *very first
app* that I noticed the absence of was mc.

Sure enough, there's no such file. There is a available-old file - should I
just copy that as 'available' and continue? Or will it get something
fatally out of sync?

was intending to ask for some clarification on this list.
Other question - what's the 'proper' way to give a user (me) access to ppp?
I can think of a couple of ways that might work but I might as well do it the

I shouldn't be posting as root;)

I actually came across a couple of threads in the bug-grub archive recounting
remarkably similar problems to mine, caused to /dev/hda, apparently by 'map'.
It's not inevitable, but quite possible, so far as I can tell.
Well, you asked.:)
