Hi!
How can I have Netscape use external apps for certain files? I did add
them in the Preferences and they get started, but they are not passed
the file to display. I tried " %f" and ... %d but nothing
works.
The help system does not even mention that aspect. At least I can't find
it. Any ideas?
Newbie.

Hi,
i've just downloaded debian potato but only potato/main/binary-i386 and
potato/main/disks-i386.
Well now i could install the very base system. But now i don't get along
with installing the binaries.
I started dselect and modified the access file that i want to install from
file:/debian/binar
I am not a newbie (using Debian for 3 years now, programming with pico for
5), I prefer clean interfaces, and to remain outside of the jihad of
editors.

HI All,
I have a question on the go-gnome debate. Is there
any advantage to using:
#go-gnome
as opposed to:
#apt-get install task-helix-gnome
I tried out helix-gnome using apt-get, setting up the
sources.list file as described on helix-code's website
and found it to work well this way

Hi,
does somebody know, which packet of the Debian 2.2 -distribution containes the
wellknown UNIX-commands
compress and uncompress ?
They seem not be installed by the default-installation,
so I couldn't find these commands in the /usr/bin-directory !
Thanks,

The advantage with go-gnome is only for _real_ newbies, who haven't
yet learned how to use an editor, or

Since installing a theme just consists of copying files into the right spots
there is no need to have .debs just go to www.themes.org and find something you
like and do what it says.

First, changing the NS IPs in resolv.conf might help your machine think that
it's IP address maps to your FQDN but it doesn't help anyone else. The change
in dynamic dns will take a few seconds to take effect. I realize though that
for things like apache it's helpful/necessary to have the FQDN-d
