To fix my present non working version of Debian I feel I must download
the latest (todays?) offering, and hope that it fixes more bugs than it
re-exposes.

My install (issue 17.1.05)(Sarge) has a broken Kppp, Kmail, Floppy drive,
and screen configuration (which I'm able to fix). Also I was able to get pon
working (much to my delight, but I need a visual `online` indicator). I then
tried `apt-get install Gpppon`. That failed.

Another problem is I've been trying to post here (it has worked in the
past) but is not working now. My email and reply address are valid but I
don't receive the Autoauthorizer reply. So I don't know if the moderator is
blocking me or if it is a technical problem.

If this doesn't elicit a response from the Autoauthorizer I will have to
find other ways to get my message across.

My regards. Shirley.

Message received! (In alt.os.linux.gentoo)

No violence, please.

1) it's not necessary to send the same message to every linux related news
group you can find.

2) since your problem seems to be related to updates/upgrades to Debian,
have you thought of trying Ubuntu - it's designed to be "Debian with
regular updates".

You are totally missing the point!

Just try and see what is going on here :-))

.... then emerged gentoo 2004.2 and all was fine ;-)

well, the 'To:'-field seems to be wrong.
