I installed bo on my old 486, and the installation was

Hi,
Does your chatscript contain "noauth" ? The hamm pppd package
has "auth" enabled in the default /etc/ppp/options file, and for most
ISPs it must be disabled either in the options file or in the
chatscript. Does your ISP use PAP? If so look at
/usr/doc/ppp/README.debian.gz for guidance.
Thanks!
I've modified the Compose file and got everything I wanted.
There was no need for any recompilation. It was sufficient to restart the
xdm.

First, take a deep breath. Second, give us as much info on your setup

We don't want Debian 2.0 to be yet another Red-Hat 5.0.
We don't know for sure when it will be released, but we know that it
should be bug-free enough before it will be released.

Hi there,
Actually there is support for Intense 3D Voodoo. Where have you been? :)
The latest XF86_SVGA server has support for the AT25/AT3D chipset which is
on Voodoo Rush cards. I have the exact same card you have and it works
fine. If you can, install the XF86 3.3.2 Debian hamm packages.

Hi,
I installed leafnode (Version: 1.4-10) but couldn`t find how to
configure Gnus to use localspool, default leafnode conf doesn`t work

Gnus complains that it couldn`t find active file
