I had the same error before. When you use xf86config, when it asks if it
should put the configuration file (just before asking the amount of video

Hello
I have not yet found out how to automatically start up programs when
x is started. I am using Icewm as my window manager. In the icewm docs
there is something about a .Xclient which I created but it didn't have
any effect. As I read there, .Xclient contains the command for starting

Thanks for your suggestion. My original problem was not having the proper
entries for the non-us distribution in /etc/apt/sources.list. Still, I
suppose for purely legal reasons, I should use gpg.

I am at this game for the last few years. There are two solutions to this:
Solution 1: If you have multiple OSs (like me) with Debian 2.1, Slack-7,
and Win-98, (and BeOS till recently):
a) Create a separate partition, (Type of partition msdos or vfat).
Use "fips" for non destructive re-
Just pull out the CMOS battery and refix it. Once the CMOS info is
totally wiped out, the passwords would have gone too, afterall the
info is kept in the CMOS and not the BIOS. It is admitedly a crude
method, but works. Needs no tools besides your screw driver and
nifty fingers!

On Tue,
Hey,
I'm still using 2.1 (If 2.2 does come out like it
is expected to (today), I will buy it), and I'm trying to install it on my new
computer. I've switched out various parts of my machine (Hard-drive,
CD-ROM, etc), Because it gives me weird memory errors/addresses when I try to
install.
I recently bought a Creative Labs PCI128 OEM. It has the ES1371 chipset
which is an option in kernel config. It was a snap to set up in linux,
and it has been working great. I got it at www.bunta.com for $30US. I
highly, highly recommend that company. Their prices are reasonable and

(I've installed the 2.2.17 kernel on my old system and cdfs compiled
fine with it.)
This is the Makefile:

cdfs.o: $(OBJS)
$(LD) -r $(OBJS) -o $@

Contrary to what I was used to, it seems that the xterm "clients" like mc,
lynx and Gnuplot do not any more use the xterm resources. Therefore I am
getting a smaller window for them.
What should I change in order to fix it?
I am running unstable.

Hello,
I'm trying to use gnus to read posts written in japanese. Unfortunately it
refuses to show the posts using japanese characters by default.
I have these settings:
gnus-show-mime t
gnus-strict-mime nil
gnus-show-mime-method 'metamail-buffer
Some conversion is done, because a lot of quoted-

If the other methods mentioned fail, BIOS's usually have generic passwards
that unlock them no matter what password is set (v useful - if the case is
padlocked together at uni ;) ). Try searching on the internet for the
BIOS type + crack or something similar.

Well I am "posting" from the newsgroup. Wanted to get all that mail off
my shell account quota. The only drawback is the delay in seeing
posts. A post or followup will not go to the mailing list, I use reply

post. A post or f
I've set up FTP on my WinNT laptop using Microsofts peer web services and I
use Netscape on my linux box to browse files etc. (or just ftp them across).
