Compressed mail folders in pine

I was wondering if anyone on the list new a way to have pine use gzipped compressed mbox files instead of them being uncompressed, which on my system is taking up a lot of space these days!!! Thanks in advance - Rab -

gnome/wm issues

I have two systems. One woody, xfree 4.0.1, woody windowmaker and gnome. The other is potato, acceleratedX, potato windowmaker and gnome. Both have identical windowmaker setups, for the most part. Now, until recently I had been simply envoking windowmaker with "exec windowmaker" in .xinitrc.

RE: No hardwarelist for Debian?

Re: No hardwarelist for Debian?

If they exist, they are derived straight from Linux hardware list, aka list of hware supported by the kernel itself.
