FAT32 does not appear to be just a new partition type, which can coexist
with FAT16 & Linux partitions.
Both utilities I tried (Win95 FDISK & Maxtor Maxblast) required either all
FAT32 or no FAT32, and Linux FDISK was then unable to add any Linux/FAT16
partitions, once there was a FAT32 partition.

Hi,
When one has a remote connection, one can use fetchmail to
download mail in a batch. I am looking for the opposite - sending composed
mail from a designated mail folder as soon as the dialip link is up. So
far, none of the MUA's I looked at seem to have this capabilty. Of course,

A friend of mine has a laptop, which I installed debian hamm on for
him. He says that every time someone sends him a microsoft word
document via email (these are huge files), fetchmail seems to choke on
it. The strange thing is that I cannot replicate the same problem on

I'm running a 386 with 4M RAM and a 40M HDD.
Slink (Debian 2.1) takes about 33M of free HDD space to install,

Is there a way to have some use for the windowskey on the keyboard?
I would like to put / in one of the windowkeys, and ~ on the other one.

Hi everybody.
I've got a machine here I want to use as a firewall/masquerade box. I've
compiled and installed kernel 2.2.1 using kernel-package and then replaced
the things listed on the page dealing with Debian 2.1 and kernel 2.2.x
issues... Namely, I've installed the newer netbase from potato.
