Hi,
I installed gnome in my computer, and, I don't know why, every program
that I start within the gnome-panel has the current dir = "/usr/src".
I could find no reason, and no documentation about it.
Anyone knows what's going on?

Similarly, the slink version starts everything in /etc. Boy, is that a

I had staroffice 5.0 working under hamm, but it broke when I updated to
slink. I am assuming due to differences in libc.so.6 between hamm and
slink. Is this right? Is there a way to keep slink and still get
staroffice working again? Everything else I use is working fine.

Not unless you convert it with alien --scripts. The chance that the postinst
