Take a look at the rescue disks on ftp.varesearch.com. They're very good.

Shields,
I don't mind having people mirror off debian.crosslink.net; it has
lots of capacity. The past problems with debian.crosslink.net not
mirroring correctly, and the underlying problem of my having no time
to fix it, have been resolved. Currently I'm mirroring it over
rsync/ssh to master; but by

tcsh should include a symlink of /bin/tcsh - ../usr/bin/tcsh. I

fvwm2 doesn't include the FvwmClean (aka NoClutter) module, even
though it references it in the system .fvwm2rc. Preferably it should
include this module, but if not it shouldn't be referenced.

That sounds good... However, please -DON'T- mark popclient as Replaces:

Until adding the appropriate entries to ~/.mime.types and ~/.mailcap,

Followup indicates that this will be fixed in NetKit-B 0.08, so we

xntp's postinst only lets you input one timeserver. It would be easy to

If you say yes at the appropriate prompt, bindconfig will create zones
