I still use mailx as my main mail user agent, with
vim as VISUAL (v and ~v commands) editor. It's efficient,
with helpers like metamail, and multiple xterms.
I use vim's "set mouse=a" feature. vim catches mouse
input, unless shift is down, where the xterm gets it
as usual.

This is becoming a FAQ. There is a problem with udev.
Before udev, there was a strong association between
device names and devices. With udev, that association
is much weaker.

Works with 2.4.21 kernel drivers mii and tulip, but you
need the hotplug package to get it recognized.

Don't worry about it. In my experience the X Window System
installed by Woody does that about half the time.
That's one reason they're writing a new installer.

debs,
mistakenly, i put the kabosh on "local" printing due to
my inept networking attempt. here's what i get from an
"lpr":

debs,
i lost the "lo" part of ifconfig, i.e., all i get is
the "ppp0" part. (linux-wise, i'm trying to figure out
what to do with a nic.) i suspect the prob is causing
the obsfucation of my print jobs, seeking a network
environment when probably i have nothing even close.
please un-dense me.
debs,
update:
ifconfig -a gives me not only "lp" and "ppp0," but it also give me "eth0."
for now
i'd like to not have "eth0." how do i not have it in the picture?

curiously, what makes it "suboptimal"?--it moves the file out of the way,
it keeps x at bay until desired, and doesn't hurt the system. what's
missing?

sorry if this is too late, but when i mkboot, i have to
type the whole path:
# mkboot /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16 (or substitute for the
kernel version i was using that the time).

wow, what a great explanation! (after reading the initial posting, i wondered
what
does /dev/null do? (which was the question i was going to post.) then i read
man
"null," and thought, "okay, that's what 'null' does." then i came to mr.
trillich's
post and really learned a few things. )

in trying to config gphoto, i get, " the user doesn't

i know that my modem is on /dev/ttyS2, to which i have
