Help needed also - Enlightenment/Gnome on slink
Hello,
I could also use some help trying to get later gnome versions
and enlightenment running on slink (2.0.36 kernel).
I originally installed the gnome and enlightenment that came on
the slink CD. But the enlightenment-conf had problems installing.
I grabbed a bunch of .debs of newer gnome and enlightenment
recently. It appears that freetype2 needs libc6 >- 2.1 and I
cant seem to find this. When I run "enlightenment" now, there is
no text at all, and wierd things happen to my screen.
Is there a place that has everything needed for a later gnome and
enlightenment, and what it needs? (and that will run under 2.0.36)
I am not sure how to get dselect
to recognize the dependencies that exist when I try to install from
hard disk, using seperate .deb files that I grab individually. I
currently have to use WIN95/AOL to grab files, and I use dpkg -i
to install these one by one. I then note the configuration errors
and install each of the dependency .deb files one by one, and
then finally use "dpkg --configure --pending" to get everything
setup after all pieces have been "installed". Until I get an
ISP that allows linux connectivity, I can't use "apt-get".
John
