When will there be a distro available that will include the setting up of wireless networks, for those that want the setup in their laptops? I have a laptop, and so far the only one that allows me to setup wireless as I install, is Ubuntu. I begin to tell you how much I dislike Ubuntu.

the problem is self-explanatory. The service failed to start which propogated an error. You should investigate why it failed to start. Perhaps look at some log files. perhaps try it manually, etc etc.

Yes, I have it installed using etch, and like it very much. Though it was kind of hard to get going. You may have already set it up, but just in case you have not, of in case somebody else is trying, I will briefly mention what I found worked. It may help somebody out there.

Firstly, I never got the Debian version working at all. I am sure I goofed it up, but I just couldn't find a way to make it start. The docs didn't seem to offer anything useful at all either. In the end I used the CVS version of stumpwm. It has a real README which actually has decent instructions. By following them I had a working executable in just a couple of minutes. However, sbcl from Debian also does not work right, and under any kind of load the entire system becomes uselessly unresponsive. I removed the SBCL installed via apt, and recompiled it from source. Then I installed clx using asdf "(require 'asdf) (require 'asdf-install) (asdf-install:install 'clx)" and recompiled stump. This worked fine, though the final product tends not to be very lightweight.

I was also able to get stump with clisp working, though in the end it was less than reliable. The up-side though is that it is much, much lighter than sbcl. Again, I could not get the clisp I installed via apt to work, and had to compile from source. It failed again and again to work with stump though, until I tried CVS on that too. I also had to use new-clx instead of mit-clx. Unfortunately, even after getting it to work it crashes X fairly regularly (anytime certain dialog boxes are used, such as print or downloads) and so is rather less than useful. Really too bad as I was much impressed with its generally faster, lighter feel than stump with sbcl.

Do you need help?X

But, I did get sbcl going okay, and with it stump seems solid and usable. It is fast overall, and certainly has the nice feel of ratpoison, with the bonus of a mode-line. And even though it is not terribly lightweight considering the sparsity of the thing I still think it is an excellent choice for a tiling WM.

However, as much as I liked it, xmonad (http://xmonad.org/) was even more pleasing than everything else. It also took a little work to get going, though nothing like stump, but it was worth it in the end. It is unbelievably light and fast and even seems smaller than ratpoison. And dzen2, a separate app, as a status-bar is much more full-featured than stump's, and seems about as good as what ion has. Additionally, it handles transient windows much more realistically than does stump or ratpoison. With it you can also grab the window and resize it making that window a floating one rather than tiling, all without the hoops you seemingly had to jump through with ion3 to do the same thing. Without a doubt, xmonad with dzen has been the most satisfying and simple approach I have yet tried in the window manager market.

I am not aware of a single package that will do all that you want, but a combination of a few packages should get you there. I use syslog-ng for aggregating logs from many servers, and I think it far surpasses the standard udp syslog daemon for reliability. Running logcheck and/or logtool on the syslog server to parse the raw logs will get you pattern matching and various reporting possibilities.

        No, Policy must directives are things package must comply  with, or they are thrown out of the release (unless release managers  offer dispensation).

        However, policy _changes_ tend to be conservative, and policy is  not where you do design and tinkering. So new stuff needs to be  tested, and deployed, and _then_ policy changes. Policy also does not  tend to change rapidly and make gazillions of packages instantly  buggy.

        You are.

Can we help you?X

    The description of usbmount says: 

	This package automatically mounts USB mass
	storage devices (typically  USB pens) when they
	are plugged in, and unmounts them when they are
	removed.

    Does this limit filesystems to FAT? FAT doesn't care if you rip it out without doing any cleanup. If you've formatted your thumbdrive as an ext2 filesystem, how can it be properly unmounted if you simply unplug it? Won't that mean you have to run fsck every time you plug it in again?

                Best wishes,
