I found a program on SUNSITE (in system/filesystems) for
defragmenting disks under Linux, and I was wondering if anyone has
compiled it. I tried, but the compiler says function FIRST_INODE (or something
close to that, sorry but the code is at home and I'm at school) is

There is indeed a MS "DOS for Workgroups" product. You need Microfoft's
free TCP/IP stack from their FTP site on top of this.
If you have 8MB and at least a 486 on the client systems, run Windows 95
on them and boot it in DOS mode most of the time. You'd really only have
to boot Windows mode to do

Hi:
I recently installed the XFree 3.2 packages from unstable in my machine.
Although most things seem to work fine, I'm experimenting a very odd problem
with the xrdb command.
If I run
xrdb -merge .Xresources
I get the message:
xrdb: cannot run '/lib/cpp -traditional -Dlinux -D__i386__ -

No, no problem with it.

I have heard that there is an SMB client for DOS. Check out:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/
Also look at:

Good luck.

Nope. It's just a bug.
The $1000 charge for advertising (it's not really a fine) is a donation to
Debian's still-in-formation corporation, "Software in the Public Interest".
I doubt I'll be collecting it any time soon, it's mostly a strategy to put
off spammers.

Hi,
I am looking at using qmail as a replacement for smail/sendmail.
I am using now on a sun workstation for testing, and it seems to work fine.
My question is does anyone know of a reader that can access the maildir files

is the qmail-preferred way of storing mail)? Right now I must use mai

Hi.
I want to install Netscape in my Debian-Linux 486DX2 (66Mhz).
I had obtained from my CD destribution, and from the archives the
netscape_3.01-1.deb
and
netscape-v301-export.x86-unknown-linux-elf.tar.gz
then I try to install "dpkg -i netscape_3.01-1.deb" and all works fine

The ATAPI 6X CDROM on my Sharp 9080 notebook seems to work OK but
generates the following errors:

I always get them when I mount the CDROM, and occasionally thereafter. I
I just did mknod to create tty9 through tty12. Everything seems to be
working fine, but I thought I would just check to make sure those vt's

Alternatively, if you don't use PEX and XIE then don't add the Load

Ooops. I just bounced this post, hoping elm would let me edit it. :-(
I tried Linux 2.1.13, and found that start-stop-daemons,
which Debian uses extensively during bootup, did not work,
and possibly some other scripts. Hence 2.1.13 was useless
and I am back to 2.1.10. Has anyone else experienced t

You can even NOT do it, since gcc Depends: on cpp. Actually it would have
deleted cpp already if it conflicts with gcc.
