What I am confused about is I am running the exact same terminal in both
Debian and the client as I did in Gentoo and I had the lines drawn in
mc. I am using the linux terminal. When I run 'echo $TERM' it says
linux and my client says linux which I have not changed from when I
connected to Gentoo.
I just connected to a Gentoo box to make sure I am correct, and yes, I
echo the term and it says linux and the lines are drawn in mc. I just
don't know where my configuration is different.

That is better, but I still have some funky characters. The new picture

I run into this going from one of the BSDs, even if they have a
TERM=linux, it doesn't work. I have found that TERM=screen works just
fine, as long as locale=C (don't know about matching other locales).
TERM=screen works since all the OSs I use have GNU screen as a package
and will need it to work.

I believe that you can install a 64bit kernel on you i386 system.
Assuming that you have room in /boot and /lib, just add the 64-bit
kernel and keep your 486 (or whatever) and try it. If it doesn't boot,
then choose the 486 from the grub menu.
You can even run i386 apps in an amd64 system as long as you have the
i386 libs installed (available as a regular package in amd64).

If I do an 'export LC_ALL=C' then term=linux and term=screen appear to
act the same. The display is much better but still not perfect. I have
updated a new picture at http://www.stikman.com/mcdisplay1.jpg.

Does hitting <space> instead of <return> to select the mailbox helps ?

I tried both of these. Now when I type 'c' I get a suggested mailbox
to go to (one with new mail), but if I type a '?' I am given a list
of mailboxes, such as:
1 IMAP + al/
2 IMAP + bob/
etc.
but if I select one of them, I simply get:
1 IMAP ../
If I select that one, I get the same list of mailboxes above. I am
then in an endless loop, and get out of it by typing 'y'.

Same thing. It does not like the vertical lines. Actually, it does not
like the right hand vertical lines. The left side appears to be working

An unbootable system?
But then, what *exactly* do you mean by "an i386 system"?

That's it! It works fine with <space>. I hadn't quite understood
that with IMAP there is a difference between the selection key and

I could ping the mirror.
I found what appears to be the problem: a few days ago I was browsing
packages and installed "anon-proxy", because it looked interesting.
But I never did figure out how to configure and use anon-proxy.
Uninstalling the package solved the problem, but I do not understand
why it interfered only with the Debian repository.
Thanks, Florian.

Could someone please let me know what this is supposed to mean:
tetex-base: Conflicts: jadetex (<= 3.13-6) but 3.13-6 is to be installed
Command:
$ sudo apt-get install docbook-utils jadetex tetex-bin tetex-extra tetex-base

Hi,
I recently built a box with an onboard Nvidia NIC, and it didn't work
under Etch. I spent several days Googling and troubleshooting it until
I finally gave up and installed a PCI NIC I knew would work. The
problem seemed to boil down to the fact that the forcedeth driver was
not able to query to NIC properly to get its MAC address, so it would
just assign a random MAC address to it instead. Because of this, the
NIC got a different device designation (eth0, eth1, etc.) each time the
computer booted, and it wasn't possible to use udev to fix it since the
MAC address was always different.
One of my Google searches brought up a post that said this was fixed in
the forcedeth driver in testing, but I didn't try it.
- Dave
