It still does

You should be able to get an Iomega 700-insider for less than $150. Holds

After marking everything I want and installing all these packages

Does anyone know of a document reader/editor that will read Microsoft Word

Someone emailed me with a MS Word file attached, and thought it would be

I just started the job to regenerate the Packages file. The mirroring process
might not be complete, which would explain the missing fonts.

I think you haven't loaded the driver for your SCSI controller. The
message about the NCR53c406a seems to indicate you don't have one of
those. Try using the "modprobe" tool, or you can build a custom kernel
with the driver linked in.
Thanks

Besides using "xntp", you can simply put an "rdate " command
in the appropriate place. If you use PPP, this would be /etc/ppp/ip-up .
That would set the time whever connecting to the PPP server.
If you have an Ethernet, you can call it from a script in /etc/rc2.d .

Hi,
Having recently had a scare where I thought I had lost my harddrive, I
have been motivated to investigate the possibility of purchasing a
backup device.
Two questions:

much)
2. What backup software should I use?
Thanks

Yes, there are "timeservers" on the internet that you can set your clock
to. The package is called
Does anyone have any experience getting ppp started from a base system

with ppp because all my other debian systems have been connected to lans.
