My elm (hamm) suddenly seems to have stopped picking up mail from my ISP. Anybody have any advice as to where to start looking: I wonder slightly if a directory may have changed permissions. Andy -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Tr

PPP 2.3 from hamm/hamm (unstable)

Does this break under kernel 2.0.30 or do I just need to check out the syntax for new files: having set this up once, all that happened was that the modem hung. Still running unstable 24/7 and happy. Andy -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTEC

X reconfiguration for xdm ???

1997-08-19 Thread Andrew Martin Adrian Cater \[Andy\]
I've managed to break my X windows: is there any way of restoring the default so that xdm will boot and a windows manager will be selected. I can do startx / xinit and get a single xterm but I'd like xdm and a window manager back. I can reinstall xbase, but the default postinst refuses to touch

1997-02-20 Thread Andrew Martin Adrian Cater (Andy)
Sorry to be so dense: Patrick was right and mtab was different to /etc/fstab. On this machine, /dev/cdrom is soft linked to /dev/sbpcd to please some programs which prefer it that way. /etc/fstab had /dev/sbpcd /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 and /etc/mtab had /dev/cdrom /cdrom
