I haven't any better ideas about cron, but you may want to look into
using remind. It is in a package of the

I mistakenly told the potatoe install routine to install everything on
the 3 cd's I have, and I ran out of disk space (only have 1Gb). I want
to remove packages, do I use apt-remove or something like that ? I tried
that and got an error due to a full hard disk, is there some manual
process I will

X snarls the F1 - F5 text consoles, but runs fine itself. Killing the X
server does not unsnarl them.
I apologize for bringing up this routine question. I've seen several
posts about this in the archives and still cannot solve this problem.
All this RTFM'ing has made my eyes water
When I first log into Xwindows, I can use the mouse in
Midnight Commander to select files. After I've been logged
in for a while, perhaps even an hour, I no longer can use my
mouse.
Originally I thought this was a problem of not having GPM
installed, so I installed it, but it doesn't make any

Better than that. For an instant fix, just make the terminal display

Hi,
After upgrading to Debian/unstable I want to get sound with ALSA. I install
alsa-source and compiled the alsa-driver for Soundblaster 128 PCI (Ensoni1
1371) it using kernel 2.4.3. After installation lsmod shows
snd-seq-midi4816 0 (autoclean) (unused)
snd-seq-oss30400
That works great. Thanks.
