Yup, good job Enrique. One thing that worries me, LAPTOPS! If something
needed a tecra disk before, I'll like to be sure it works ok without the
tecra patch now.

Let's see:
Depends: xbase-clients, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-base, xserver-vga16 |
xserver, xterm, libc6 (>= 2.0.7u), xlib6g (>= 3.3-5)
I guess that means vga16 is prefered (or is it that you can't depend on
just a virtual package). However, no suggest or recommends vga16, so my
svga server eleminated that depends screen from coming up.

Ohh, I'm looking forward to that more than the 2.2 kernel. My mouth is
watering.
Thanks Jason,
