Would it be possible for someone to post their apt sources.conf file for me? I seem to be having problems with mine after installing alien. Don't know what I did, it was working fine until I installed alien, now I keep getting timed out at 54%, trying to log in. It returns an Err ftp message.. no

mailcap/slrn question

2000-08-10 Thread Dale Morris
Does anyone have a working mailcap file that will display images from newsgroups in slrn? I can get mutt to display images using ee, but I've never been able to get slrn to display an image in a binary newsgroup. I always have to use Netscape News for binaries and slrn for regular text messages. I'

If I am running a gnome session, my gnome screensaver will shutdown the monitor, but it doesn't display a screensaver. If I am in the default debian (fvvm?) window manager, and I execute the command xscreensaver-demo, it will display a screensaver. But it doesn't automatically turn the monitor off

If you copy the disk images for the frozen/potato distribution, you will end up with kernel 2.2.17 and you can select dhcp in initial configuration. I just did this, you need the rescue, root, and 3 driver disks for a total of 5 disks. Worked great for me. good luck On Fri, Aug 11, 2000 at 03:04:

I just did a fresh install of 2.2 by cd. Couple of questions: 1. I didn't have sound in my user directory, but had it as root. I did a chmod 666 /dev/dsp and it works but I'm not sure that's the proper permission. What's the right permission? 2. If I try to compile the kernel I get errors when I t
