If so, I'd appreciate a short note from you. I'd like to know if you
use SLIP because PPP is unavailable, more expensive, or otherwise
inconvenient.
Thanks

I don't think cat works here because /dev/psaux is not a regular file.

I think that you can do this with samba. I beleive that samba is
available as a Debain package.

o. I don't use slip so I can't as specific as my request
for ppp - chat info, but I think you have the idea.
Please send your submissions to me by private e-mail. Thanks in
advance for your help.

I got essentialy the same message while preparing to compile a non-
Debian 2.08 kernel. I conclude from this that whatever the problem
is, it is not a Debian problem. I don't know if the resulting
config file is really broken or not, but I did not take any chances.
I used menuconfig. It is almos

I made the same mistake that Joshua and Hakan made. The READMEFIRST file
in /usr/doc/lilo gives two possible fixes:
- In linux you can remove lilo from the master boot record with:
lilo -U
- In MSDOS you can remove lilo by:
fdisk /mbr
The lilo -U fix did not work for me since

I recently had a memory problem that I solved by reseating the SIMMs.
I didn't remove them. I just wiggled them. If you try it, be sure to
protect against static discarge.

Many thanks to Susan, Digge, Adrenolin, JinHo, and others who responded
to my call for help in getting my mouse set up.
I think that I have solved my problem with using my PS2 mouse with X.
My solution is to not use a PS2 mouse. Use a serial mouse instead.
My theory is that the base system for D

Does anyone know if PS/2 mouse support is compiled into the kernel
supplied with Debian 1.1.2? If not, how can I get it? I don't
recall seeing a module that had it. I have installed
X, but not quite correctly yet. When I startx, I get a nice screen
