Maybe just invalid info in BIOS. I would trust linux here. Or maybe is that onboard L3 cache...

Different people prefer different presentations. I read EVERYTHING I could find on LaTeX (including the not-so-short-introduction), but I still could not put the pieces together. I even purchased and read a spiral-bound copy of Knuth's "The TeX Book". Ironically, I had run across a copy of Kopka & Daly a year or more previously, but I had passed it up. Not until I purchased and Kopka & Daly did I begin to understand LaTeX as a system and develop proficiency with it. Kopka & Daly did for me what all the other books and manuals failed to do. RLH

Call it a bug in Debian's Mondo package. They should have patched it to work with the correct file. Doug.

>=20 But if you make it a link you get an infinite loop when using the mondo=20 restore CD: it has to be a regular file.

I used mkfontscale and also mkfontdir. fonts.dir and fonts.scale were created. "xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-barcod25" and "xset fp rehash" gave no error and it seems that they have worked (I can see the font with xlsfonts), but xpdf, for example, still doesn't display the barcode font correctly on the PDF. Do you know something else that I can try? Thank you very much! Best regards, Nelson

After I did that and restarted X, it seems like the SVG support broke in gnome. I can not use SVG backgrounds for example, and some icons don't seem to work. I'm now wondering: - Can I revert what I did? - Can I see what packages on my system comes from the unstable repository? - Can I install a package from the unstable repository, but all its dependencies from the main repository? (Given that the dependencies exist there) Thanks. -- Rickard Lindberg <a href="mailto:ricli576@student.liu.se">ricli576@student.liu.se</a> +46 733 464794 ------=_Part_9535_30635222.1188749849767--

Hello! thanks to everyone who write helping. Finally, I used the lenny bussinescard cd, and the HD disk was recognized. Now, I am running lenny in the same machine with M$ Vista. Thanks again Marcelo -- Marcelo Chiapparini chiappa@oi.com.br

Thanks, yes: I have read that, more than once. It is a good introduction, but IMHO no more than that.

Yes, I had spotted that it was installed on mine too. texdoctk was new to me, though. I had to install perl-tk and tetex-doc, but after that, --wow! There is a lot of additional information there! Thanks Douglas -- richard
