Inspired by the question on Japanese input, I'd like to know if anybody has a good
solution for Chinese input? So far, the only way I've found is with Xemacs (using

Dear Stephen,
It's very odd that you can't change this file as root. The only thing I
know of that would cause this is if the immutable flag is set. The way
to find out is with the lsattr command:

Just out of curiosity, have you tried booting a Knoppix (or Kanotix, my
preferred) CD? I know the purists might not be amused, but that's a
pretty good way to find out if your hardware is Debian compatible
without having to go through configuration hassles. Not to mention that

I've heard from a security expert that one pass of /dev/random won't be
enough. Seven passes is said to be sufficient that even the most
sophisticated equipment won't be able to recover the data.
Darik's Boot and Nuke runs three passes over the entire hard disk, so
running it three times would be
Most likely you've messed up your XF86Config-4 file. As root, try
running "xf86cfg" and see if you can reconfigure it.

Dear John,
I don't have any experience personally, but a close friend just bought
an AMD64 box. He says that at the moment, biggest problem is that most
binaries are compiled for i386, though 64-bit stuff is slowly coming.
Debian's work-around is to install these applications into a chrooted

Dear Michal,
I don't know if this is exactly what you want, but here's my idea. If
you are starting X with the "startx" command, there is a switch
available for color depth:
startx -- -depth 16
So in file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, you could define different resolutions
for different color depths

Despite what some people have told you, it wasn't necessarily a waste of

Sorry, I missed the beginning of this thread. But I know how to set up

By the way, when you ran "pppoeconf", did it give you any error

What kernel are you using? I think this will work only with 2.6 kernels
