Re: change login method

Re: root file system

Thanks to all for putting me in the right direction. It turns out that I hvae a spare 2G that I was going to use for NT but never quite got around to using. I would like to use it for a var file system (a bit large but better than what I have now.) I know I can simply change the fstab file, but how

Help: Loading Netscape 4 off Potato CD?

Hi, I've posted some msgs but have yet to get Netscape 4 loaded. I've tried apt-get netscape and it defaults to netscape3. f I try netscape4, which I see on the package list is there, I get the base system and nothing to run. Is Netscape 4 on the official Debian 2.2 CD ROM? If so, how do I get it.
