LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgnumalloc.so.5

I have a Debian 1.1 machine with 4 serial ports, each on its own IRQ.
I edited /etc/rc.boot/0setserial to configure the appropriate IRQs.
Question #1: At boot, when /etc/rc.boot/0setserial runs, it complains
"no such device" for each of the devices. If I do the setserial as
/etc/rc2.d/S14setser

No, 'fraid not. This problem only exists on the install disks though -

Hopefully this will be fixed before 1.2 - it's on ou

I'm trying to get an e-mail->alpha-pager thing working. Everything is
working except the fact that I don't have permissions to use /dev/ttyS1
When I send a page as root, the page goes out fine.
When I send mail to, say, jdoe, I have /usr/bin/filter pick it up and
execute the pager script, and i
Is anyone aware of permission/ownership problems with /usr/bin/filter?
I was trying to use the "filter" command that comes with the elm package

Cops does some cute things. First off, it checks for some obvious things

I put in a fix for the 2GB partition problem, but I haven't tested the
boot disk. This morning I built a kernel without initrd, and wasted some

and boot disks are merged into one floppy) and will test it later.
