Some programs compiled/linked with ncurses/readline libs

Do you have troubles when, for example, running bash

Does anyone know how to cope with this?

/var/tmp was created after /usr/tmp, to let /usr be read only.
In fact /usr/tmp is now a symlink to ../var/tmp
/tmp is to be considered less persistent than /var/tmp : idea

You can find rex on debian.crosslink.n
If you want a quick-and-dirty one-liner to find the IP address of a MAC address
you could use something like:
arp -na | grep | cut -f1
man arp is your friend.

Hi, Gurus
i'm still getting core dumps while trying to

I have hamm installed.
Any ideas how to cure it?
Related question is how to get

Probably such a list will include:
