Can't seem to get that to work - when I try to create the boot directory, it won't work, because the fs is mounted read-only. After doing 'mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdc /media/disk' the little padlock icons in the ...

Now that I think about it Biotube is probably right, some sort of 'desktop' package or maybe gnome-session requires a window manager since I think it was actually installing xfwm when I was removing gconf which probably was going to remove metacity. I just wish it would of told me what was requiring ...

Since playing with squeeze I have ran into this issue a couple times. I have just been letting it install whatever and then removing those also. Just doesn't make any sense.

As far as I know I did not have any meta packages installed either as I usually stay away from them.

My apt.conf file ...

playing with squeeze and noticed apt-get acts crazy...


removing A automatically causes apt-get to want to install B

I plug the device in and then I unmount it since it is automatically mounted
umount /dev/sdb1


dd my image to the drive
dd if ...

Thanks! I thought the fonts were a little fuzzy but not bad....

I predict two people will say the fonts were so fuzzy that it hurt their eyes and three will say how jagged and ugly the fonts are... :lol:

is the download slow speedwise?

this is the 'bloaty gnome' edition.....or if you prefer 'hint of mint' edition

I could use some feedback if anyone cares to try it out. It is DVD size rather than CD size but I am thinking I may add more rather than remove anything, try to cram a bunch into it. Although it is bloated I tried to ...

take it easy....a rib is one thing....dont bust a gut...

got to playing with mint and figured I would cleanse the taint and after that I figured wtf just roll it up and call it refracta BOOM!

I plan to have stable 6.0, old-stable 5.0, as well as testing/unstable/experimental mixed builds. Time to crank it up and have some fun.

gotta work on the website ...
