RE: [jornada] Various Debian issues

Had that issue as well.
 
I used the -no-upgrade option and it works fine. I have managed to get
SSH on it, which is handy for long install sessions, Dillo installed but
when I run it, it just opens a window and closes again, didn't look
further into it. I've also change the Window Manager to Ice, which seems
to work well. I'm going 2.6 shortly in an attempt to get the iBurst card
working.
 
If possible tar (backup your card often) before installs, it's handy to
rollback rather than reinstalling everything.
 
Stay away from using dselect and just command line everything; you can
apt-cache search packagename to find things.
 
PPPTP-Linux (Client) and PPPTPD (Server) are in my cache list of
packages.

Subject: [jornada] Various Debian issues
 
I have just tried Debian on my Jornada and have had a few issues:

When I try to install quite a few programs (SSH, Dillo, gaim) with
apt-get it tells me it needs to install e2fsprogs, e2fslibs, libc6 and
sysvinit. However when I try to install these I get the message:

"This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential
package e2fsprogrs due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often
bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak
option"

Anyone tried running with the APT::Force-LoopBreak option, does it cause
any problems?

I'm also trying to install PPTP support, but can't seem to find the
package using apt-get. Anyone managed to install it? I think I also need
some kernel modules for it to work.
