Yeah, I spent a couple of months trying to get everything configured the way
I wanted it, but never did get it all figured out. I guess if I was a
full-time Debian developer who had been using this stuff for a couple of
years, I'd love it, but I'm not and I don't. I keep wondering if I just got
some bad CDs (I used the LSL Debian 2.1 set), because I had some real
problems with dselect. Never could get Enlightenment, GNOME or KDE to work
(I couldn't even get Enlightenment to *install*), couldn't get diald to
work, couldn't get Samba configured (which was weird, because I had it all
set up on my old RH5.1 system). I figure there's just a particular "Debian
way", and once you get your head around it everything just falls into place,
but I never did. Maybe too much NT & VB use has rotted the Unix part of my
brain (or sucked it up with "concept bloat"!)
Cheers!
