[tde-users] Re: Trying to install TDE on a (relatively) old Debian (9.13)

Absolutely correct! We could have a system without any DE at all, just command line, and still be able to access (or not) a floppy disk. It is the whole system setup that needs to be correct, not an issue with the DE installed in the system. That was my whole point. So blaming a DE (TDE or any other DE) for not being able to access a device is wrong information. It's like those comments on the internet saying that Qt3 and TDE have an unsafe network stack. That is also wrong information because the network stack does not come from the DE itself. At most, we can say that Qt3 network *API* are limited and that is indeed a true fact when compared with Qt4 or more recent versions. If I have misinterpreted the original post, I have no problems to put my hands up and apologize if someone feels offended. Cheers Michele
