Hi,
I spool this list as a news group, slrn reads it fine, but pine says there
are no messages. Pine works on all my other newsgroups (smaller).
Is this a bug?
I'm running pine 3.96, and Debian 1.3.1.
Thanks,
Tim.

The linux server kernel 2.x is giving error messages-
like after running PPPD it says
ethernet address unable to proxyarp
and NAMED give errors when it tries reading
addresses in reverse address files.
NSLOOKUP is not able to get local host.
Is there something wrong with the reverse addressing?

If you already have a debian system with desired set of packages installed
you could do:
dpkg --get-selections > pkg-list
and then on a new system

It is a small bug in the formats of the utmp and wtmp files. Here is a
small list of things you should do to completely upgrade:
1) Upgrade to all the packages in the base/ section
2) cd /var/log
3) mv wtmp wtmp.libc5
4) touch wtmp
5) cd /var/run
5) rm -f utmp
6) cp /dev/null utmp
7) shutdown -r

I had that exact same problem with my first upgrade to libc6 (i've done
2). What I did to correct it was, i removed all the libc6 packages, and
re-ran the auto-upgrade script i had, but this time i used

Hello all
I have a Matrox Millennium video card with 4mgs installed and a
Dell VS15 monitor. It seams that i don't have something set correct and as
we do alot of web browsing it would be nice to fix this.
Now i have the following in my XF86Config file:
"640x400" 25
On my P166 (64 meg RAM) it takes about 20 seconds. Strange, on a BSDi
P133 it takes about 5-10 seconds and that machine has less memory. I
suspect our Xemacs is loading a bunch of unneeded stuff but I don't
know for sure. You might want to mail our xemacs maintainer about this.
