b) make zlilo
c) make modules
d) make modules_install

Thanks for writing.
I'm not sure what table you are referring too. But xdm is not running as
shown by ps -a. And using the xdm script in init.d does nothing too. The
xdm-errors file is empty. As you can tell, I did investigate the problem

Sorry to be a pain with this, but I want to try one more time for
help. I recently copied my file system over to a new bigger disk, but I

following.
I went nuts partitioning the new disk. I was mostly just

What is the command that a user can use to change their default shells? I did

My script doesn't quite work. Could someone tell me what I've done wrong?
The problem is that it displays the file as soon as it has a nonzero
length. I would like the script to wait until the file is 95 bytes long.
My script:
-
until test -s filename
do
sleep 5s
done
cat filename

Hi all,
I've got a great 1600x1200 jpg and after reading through all the docs I
found 2 different ways to set it as the background:
$ xv -root -quit -max /usr/share/wallpaper/foo.jpg
or
$ wmsetbg /usr/share/wallpaper/foo.jpg
However, the most currently packaged wmaker I can find for Debian is
0.
