Thanks for your input to my cdrom problems. I guess i have to find and read FAQ's, How-to's etc. In the meantime, I know that my undetectable cdrom is an IDE (EIDE), I don't know the model but it is apparently a Teac 4x (it came prepackaged in the Diamond 7000 cd rom kit). This cdrom is hooked to

xinitrc and cpp/GLUT

Hello, The .xinitrc problem was solved. /etc/X11/config requires xsession instead of xinitrc. xsession should be executable. Then all works. Glut was uploaded as debian package yesterday :-) Mesa still has to be upgraded to version 2 I changed from fvwm to fvwm2 and didn't see the windows freeze

Re: Caching-only "named": where is the cache?

In answer to your questions, bind keeps it's cache in memory, so yes, if you reboot it it will clear the cache. Also, all data that comes in has an expiration date on it, which states how long it's good for. If that time expires, it removes that data from the cache, and looks it up again when it
