I have in fact a slightly more important problem (not related to v3e):
Easy Debian allows me to use vpnc to access the internal network of my workplace, and it works like a charm as long as I am on wifi. I can use ssh as well as the browser in VPN mode. However, when under gprs, only ssh works, but http no longer.

Hi, I'm having a problem reinstalling programs on v3e that I had made symbolic links for (following Rebhana's wiki) inorder to make more room for other downloads. For example if I now try to ls -l the file, say texmf, I get the error "Stale NFS file handle" This error appears when I run apt-get so that the program does not install. Is there a way to get rid of these "stale" files? There probably is a work around where I go up a directrory and shuffle things around until the stale files are not a problem but I was wondering if there was a direct way to permanently remove them. Perhaps fsck is needed here?
A follow up question: To avoid this problem should I have unlinked all these programs before installing a new image?
Thanks for your help!

After that I had corrupted files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates which I could not remove. I had to delete the whole image and start all over. I never had such problems before - perhaps it's due to PR1.3 or my internal memory card is getting worn out. However, fsck.vfat didn't find anything wrong, perhaps fsck.ext2 within the image could have resolved it.

At any rate, it's crucial that apt-get is allowed to finish its job. When the device seems to become unresponsive, be patient and don't just shut it down (if that's how it happened to you). Beats me, however, why the file system error should look like NFS problems to the kernel.

hi ive had some problems with stale files also, it is a reproducible bug as it happens whenever the system reboots unexpectedly when installing something big like xulrunner or some such.
ive tried to bake up my own image using ext4 cause fsck.ext2 wasnt working on the affected vanilla image although it worked after i modified the mounting script to handle ext4 its fsck doesnt work either so could something like reiser be more recommended here?
also when installing initial image only options are MyDocs and SD but MyDocs here is only 2GB and i need it to install on /home partition, am gonna try to alter the script do you want my contributions back?

Also had the unexpected reboots. I basically decided to uninstall everything from easy debain and start over (except for saving some set-up files like .xbindkeysrc). I no longer see any stale files and can download applications I previously couldn't..

In fact, sound is not really important for me under Easy Debian, but just in case I keep two images, one with sound and one with extra stuff that breaks sound.
