the solution is downgrade to perl 5.004. 5.005 has been removed from slink, and will probably not make it into the next stable release. get the debs for 5.004 from slink and install them by hand (dpkg -i) -brad On Wed, 14 Oct 1998, Bob Nielsen wrote: > On Wed, 14 Oct 1998 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrot

do you have the correct xserver installed? if you only have xserver-vga16 installed then 16 colors is the maximum. you probably want to install xserver-svga, and then make sure the first line of /etc/X11/Xserver points to the correct server (i.e. /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA) -brad On Mon, 17 Aug 199
