I have libc4 installed on my Debian system (running the latest from
unstable). How can I find out if any programs depend on libc4, so that I
can remove it if it isn't needed? Or is there a good reason to keep it?
Thanks.

Probably this does not apply to you or it won't solve your problems
(because your SCSI controller is different than mine) but I was
getting SCSI timeouts with 2.0.30 and an Adaptec AHA-2940U with two
hard disks and one DAT tape unit. I was unable to make it work but all

Hi,
The ALT key works under emacs when in console mode. But it doesn't work

Perhaps I need to use xmodmap? I heard something about a userfriendly
version of this. Does anyone know what it's called?
Thanks,
Mark.

Hi,
How can I make a bootable diskette that has a minimal root filesystem on
it (maybe just mount, cp, ps, e2fsck, /etc and probably no networking)??
I know how to make a bootable disk by copying the kernel and using rdev,
however I don't know how I'd place a root filesystem on the diskette.
