I upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2. After the upgrade I have the follow error
message when I try to run pppd:
pppd: can't load dynamic linker '/lib/ld.so nor
/usr/i486-debian-linux/lib/ld.so'
I also have the same message, when I run other programmes such as fortune.
How to fix it?

Today I tried running dpkg (version 1.4.0.3) on a local debian mirror. The
mirror is up to date. I get this error message:

Can Linux read NTFS filesystems? I looked at the partitions using fdisk

This letter was sent before but it didn't arrive on the

Hello,
I just installed the Lucida fonts, and because they didn't
come with a script I did it by hand. I really hope I didn't
make too many mistakes.
The next step would be running texhash. Unfortunately,

They will have a real Debian 1.2 release on their CD. It's authorized.

I'm not surprised that you are wondering why modules are useful. Most
of the reason of that is that the Linux distributions have not caught
up with what they can do. That's including Debian.

I'm going to have to upgrade to the latest Apache httpd that's in
