"dpkg --contents mgetty_0.99.deb" and "dpkg --search mgetty" both can't find it. There is only /usr/doc/copyright/mgetty. Did you mean /usr/info? That seems to have the same information as Gert's Postscript file, which is what I used for my successful Slackware installation. Following that info is complicated a bit by not having "policy.h". > David Gaudine ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > : > : 2) What should the line in /etc/inittab be?

Can somebody tell me what line works for them? I realize I'm missing something obvious, since I've been reading the debian and mgetty mailing lists for months and nobody else seems to have such basic problems.
