Next message: Michael Knoop: "Re: [LUNI] Ach! 701c/Debian problems"
After cheering to myself for getting debian up and running on my 701c, I've
realized I've got a few problems...
Keep in mind I installed from 17 floppies and filled in the blanks with apt.
1. I got a little greedy with my X apps and am new to debian... If I just do
an apt-get remove gnome-base (or something) will it remove everything that
relies on gnomes libs?(essentially what I want)
2. On installation I set aside 32M for hybernate (this is an OLD thinkpad
with 830M HDD and 16M RAM/1M vid) and now I'm not sure of the best way to
access it (I didn't write down which hda partition it is) and properly
format it to fat32(what the BIOS needs for hybernate). I ran gpart and it
recognized my swap and root partitions but didn't seem to pick up anything
other than header files... saying there were 0x000 bites available or used
on those other parts.
3. /etc/apt/sources.list
I can't seem to get the syntax right or there is something blocking me from
being able to add new sources to my list.
I've tried things like...
deb ftp://kde.tdyc.com/pub/kde/debian potato kde contrib
or
unstable main
or
main contrib non-free
NOTHING seems to work!
Any help is oh-so-wildly appreciated.
