Whoops;
Forgot to add that you can/must edit lilo accordingly with
append='smart...mem=$$$M"
Make sure that you don't install lilo in MBR AND that you make the CompraQ

nie? is on /dev/ida/)
Add that partition to Lilo
sorry for not saying i have Sid, I've installed that package and can import
it with no problems with python (from python-base), but not with python2
(python2-base)
So do i have to build pyqt against python-2.x?
TIA

As far as java itself goes, there are blackdown java 2 packages at:
deb ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian
$DIST non-free
where $DIST = either potato or woody
apt-get install j2sdk
Note that they are non-free.

- tunnel the NFS traffic over an SSH traffic (similar
