I found gs_4.01 on the non-free directory but it
depends on gsfonts_4.01 and libpaper_1.0 or higher.
Where can I find these?

I thought it would be fun to build fvwm95, so I got the file

I got fvwm-95 but I can't get it to compile under Debian 1.1:
It's complaining about a missing file: xpm.h
and a missing library: Xpm
Is there a debian package for this xpm stuff?

By the way, as for xpm.h missing, I already installed

to be. Did a find, and it is not on my machine...

When replicating a system between two partitions, the thing most often
missed is that you must preserve symbolic links instead of copying them
as files. It's also important to preserve the ownership and permissions
of files, and obscure things like the setuid bits, character and block
special files

Watch out so you don't run into an infinite loop:

I'm surprised this important question has run for so long. Is it in a

Anyhow, here's my contribution ( hopefully this'll wrap it up ;-> ):

This copies the whole disk to the mount point /mnt, avoiding the

Pretty lousy. It's _very_ alpha. It runs most of the windows applets
okay, but no real apps that I know of.
You can find it in project/experimental.
