[drupal-support] Re: Error On Every Screen

[Rejean Proulx]

Well, I took a chance and downloaded php4 from unstable.  It brought down
about 15 packages.  It got a little tense, but my machine works better than
it ever did.  I got rid of the errors.  I didn't install drupal from Debian.
It is easy to do so I brought it down from the drupal site itself.  Drupal
is really an application that you just put in a directory.
