when entering a runlevel, the daemon basically goes through each file in

note the start argument. Then when leaving it does the same thing with
the K's saying stop.

A grounding strap just creates a circuit between you and a ground
terminal. A ground terminal is a relatively infinite pool of electrons.
So, all you should need is a conducting strip going around your wrist
and a bit of copper to run to your pool of electrons and some tape to
hold the strip to th

okay, I do have the nvidias working on my 2.4 kernel, in testing

hello,
I am using testing with fetchmail talking to sendmail. The problem

Never? That is very odd...I know that sudo can be compiled to or not to
timeout after a bit of time...and debian has a timeout (somewhere between 5
and 15 minutes methinks). I'm not sure if this can be changed w/o compiling
from the source yourself. But I think it's way nicer to not have to ty

I did this on 2.0 and it seemed pretty straightforward. If you are concerned
about compatibility with debian stuff, try installing the sendmail package,
configure it to your system, copy the mc and cf files, uninstall sendmail and
then do the manual install of 8.11 using the old configs as models.
