Question

Hi,

I am planning on installing Caldera OpenLinux on a laptop. I have installed Linux on a desktop with Win98 already on. I want to make the laptop a dedicated linux box so i want to install it without a OS prevoiusly being on there.

I was wondering whether anyone had any recomendations or things to look out for when choosing and installing on a laptop. I have not bought the laptop yet but the chances are it will be a cheap second hand one, as my budget is tight (poor student Smilie) and i won't want to spend weeks just trying to get it installed!!

NAME
dh_installlisting - install .listing files to be used by desktop-profiles package SYNOPSIS
dh_installlisting [debhelper options] [filename(s)] DESCRIPTION
dh_installlisting is a debhelper program that handles installing listing files used by the desktop-profiles package into the correct location in package builddirectories (NOTE: this command is provided by the desktop-profiles package, so don't forget to build-depends on it). It also updates the cache of profile assignments (when it exists) to reflect the added metadata. If a file named debian/package.listing exists (or debian/listing in case of the main package) it is installed in etc/desktop-profiles. In addition any files given as argument will be installed in etc/desktop-profiles as package_file.listing. The format of .listing files is described in desktop-profiles(7). A dependancy on desktop-profiles will be added to misc:Depends by using this script. SEE ALSO
