Hi There, I have recently installed debain on my machine. And its' nice :). I have the following doubts - 1> How can we browse through the dselect (Select), which gives the list of the applications.
2> If I delete the shortcuts to zope in rc2.d and upto rc5.d, will that be enuff to remove it from startup? Or will it have some bad consequnces?
3> RedHat used to take hell lot of time to check my filesystem. Debian does tht pretty quickly. Why is that so. The fstab entry is the same in both the cases.
4> How can I install rpms in Debian or will i have to install thru tars? (need java over here) Bye, SP

I usually do the same thing for xdm or gdm and never noticed any bad effects. But since we have debian CD I usually uninstall such things and install when required. Debian does it very neatly cleans up every thing. ( for uninstall I use `apt-get remove zope' and then 'dpkg --purge zope' for cleaning up ).

- From now onwards I am assuming the you are connected to net. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You have to install rpm-4.x on debian. Do `apt-get install rpm' on shell prompt you have to be root. But similar to rpm `.deb' files are for debian, so you don't neet rpm. Add following line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file ,
deb http://kde.rap.ucar.edu stable main crypto
and then give this command on the prompt $ apt-get update after updation give command $ apt-get install j2sdk1.3
This will install java. Also if connection breaks in between the give command $ apt-get install j2sdk1.3 --fix-missing
Read man page for apt-get for detail.
