some of the debian machines here have been broke into. The sysadm told me

can I do that? Almost all other characters work fine with the latin1
input encoding.

Hi there,
I decided to try using mutt as my console-mail-reader because of
pure lazyness (I was used to Pine, but I'd have to grab and compile it,
so... ;-), and I'm quite disappointed with the lack of
'easy-configurability' of it (compared to Pine)... So, I'd like to ask a
few questions...

I'd like to repeat a suggestion made to this list over two years ago. I
loved it when I saw it, and I think it bears repeating. I saved it because

I compiled a new kernel last night with APM support. When I boot up, I get the
message about APM BIOS. However, it doesn't work all that well.
I run Window Maker, and after the selected dead time (as set in my BIOS), the

Last night I compiled a new kernel and had it sent to a boot floppy instead of
the hard drive (using the standard Debian tools for compiling a new kernel).
Booting from the floppy is fine. However, I'd like to mount the floppy and get
the kernel image off of it, move it to /boot, and then re-con
I have installed X windows for the first time on slink. The X login
