I can't use 'make menuconfig' when trying to use the kernel because ncurses
is not installed. I have tried:
apt-get install ncurses
apt-get install libncurses
apt-get install libncurses-dev
all with no luck. I'm not very familiar with the Debian packaging system,
so could someone help me out

you need libncurses5-dev
apt-cache search ncurses
also

I tried switching ttys, but nothing happens (or if it does, I can't tell
because the screen is white.
Nothing seems to work. Unless there's some way to interrupt X while it's
starting up, I'll have to
re-install the whole system (Which takes about an hour).

teach a man to fish. As I did in my mail, whenever answering a question here
on debian-user, provide a way to find the answer, not just

Not doable.
The shell needs to read them in order to execute them.
(Well, you could do something REALLY evil
install sudo
that will let you allow users to run things as other users, including
root...and you can say what they can and can't run. sudo rocks.

I don't know about the repeating syndrome, but to get the path
to ls, you have to use "`", not "'".

that is what I was afraid of. I'd given some thought to sudo or suid but
maybe letting users read the script is okay. So much for security through
obscurity ;)
thanks again

Dear community,
I've noticed that there are some programs in testing that I'd
like to use (and at least one that I have to use), but I'm
very scared of it not working correctly or breaking badly
when, say, I'd need to get something done fast.
So, I
did you install the correct X server? That could
be causing the problem as well.. what kind of
video card do you have?

would writing scripts in a compiled language like
C be a solution?
can a user have permission to exec a script
contained in a directory they don't have read
access to?
