I maintaining my Debian Lenny installation using aptitude. Does anybody
know how to force the installation of a package that conflicts with other packages?

I have installed the conflicting package using

Code:

dpkg --force-conflicts -i *.deb

but this makes both aptitude and UpdateManager unhappy (in the sense that
both ask me to fix broken dependencies and will not do anything before I comply).

I'm hoping that if I install the package via aptitude I can somehow let aptitude
know that I am OK with this dependency conflict.

I need some advice on building a machine with very low resurces.
Basically I have an old pc, that doesn't want to die.
So, I want to install a Linux version on it, and use it for:
1. web surfing (yahoo mail, ebay, messenger)
2. pdf reader
3. document reader (word, excel)
4. music player (this can be omitted, is not so important)

The old pc is an Intel P3, 400MHz, 64 RAM (PC133), 10G hard drive.

I can not get more RAM in it, because the bios won't accept it. I have a 128mb memory stick (pc133) right now in it, but the bios only recognizes 64mb. I tried updating the bios, but I couldn't.
So I need to install a very small Linux distro that will give me only what I need. The problem is my wife will be using it daily, and she needs a GUI. She can't work from shell command.

Any suggestions for such system?

I could try and teach her how to use the shell command. But I need to know myself how to access the internetand documents from it. And if I get to the internet from shell, how do I get a mouse to work?

I followed the instructions here: https: //help.ubuntu.com/community/ConvertFilesystemToExt4 (combine underlined to bolded) and to describe my situation in a few words, the last success I've had is me reading this having completed all the previous steps successfully to: "If you convert your boot file-system ("/boot") to ext4, and you use the GRUB boot loader, you will need to install a version of GRUB which understands ext4. Your system may boot OK the first time, but when your kernel is upgraded, it will become un-bootable." So yes, my system did boot OK the first time after running fsck for my home and root partitions (both use LVM) however when I attempted the commands that follow the quote above, it did not work and now when I boot Squeeze it gives me a grub console if that's what it's called. Fortunately, it looks fixable, I just don't know how to fix it and I would appreciate it if someone could give me the command(s) that would rescue my system :). (make grub2 boot my operating systems again)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I made a document in my Mint partition using open office version 3 and saved it in my storage bin.
After sending the same document by email using my debian lenny, the receivers found no figures in the tables (i was sending a statement of account for collection purposes)

I checked and opened the documents through my Mint, and found that everything is there.
I opened the same documents using Debian Lenny and the figures really do not show.

So I think the problem lies with my encoding the figures using a new version (3) of open office and then sending it using an older version (2.4).

May I please ask for help how I can upgrade my open office in lenny to version 3 and above please? And perhaps also make an upgrade of most of the softwares I have in lenny.

I tried below but was not quite successful.

Code:

jun@debian:~$ sudo install upgrade openoffice

install: cannot stat `upgrade': No such file or directory

jun@debian:~$



jun@debian:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade openoffice

I have fully reinstalled all my distros and got the wireless and flash player working.

Now I am looking forward to this long desire of learning how to install XP in a virtual machine in Debian.

I learned that if I put XP in a "sandbox" or a VM? not quite sure, I will also be protecting my system in case of another virus problem. I heard this will make XP run a little slower but frankly, I don't mind since I am not a gamer and I will just use it only if somebody wants to borrow my laptop and only knows how to use windows.
