PPP: You can run and setup it with "linuxconf" if you've got
that. And you can run it with /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}
or whatever your version names the scripts.
Control Panel: Run "control-panel&". Big suprise, huh?
Read the W.M. docs to learn how to put the stuff on menus
or buttons.

Ok, I figured it out. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and help.
It turns out that the file was originally a DOS file that I had pulled off
of the floppy before I modified it, and had the extra CRs in it. I noticed
this when I wrote the ppp-on file out once, and it said it was in DOS
format.
It still isn't dialing or anything, but I'll work on that now. One problem
at a time...
Thanks again,

The problem is that dpkg uses bash to execute the installation/configure

Leafnode fetch won't authenticate when it is being run to get new articles.
It authenticates when it downloads the large active file from the server,
but not when it asks the server for the stats on each interesting group.
I fixed it on my machine by modifying the source. My hard drive crashed and
I have to fix it again now, but I did email the author with a note on the
problem...
Lets see, there is a routine nntpreply which will authenticate if necessary,
but in fetch.c in the critical section it uses a different function with
returns a pointer to the server's reply, but doesn't call nntpreply.
I'm new to leafnode and this thread and am wondering if this is the trouble
other people were/are having with leafnode. It seems lots of news programs
are not used to dealing with authentication. THat's the

I've never had a problem with this. Make sure you're using "net.i"

IIRC they charge quite a lot for international mail. If I'm reading your

For 1 CD to Portugal, we charge UKP 6.50, including postage.

Check the mtools utilities ( man mtools ). They can manipulate files on DOS

$ mtype a:yourfile.txt | more
substitute your drive/path and filename. It will also allow you to just copy
file to your linux partion.

I would be extremely suprised if RH didn't include make. If you really
don't have it on your system, check your RH CD for the make RPM. If
it's not there, go to to the Redhat site or the Free Software Foundation
site (http://www.gnu.org/) and pick up the make package.

It depends vastly on your model of the universe. I've seen
estimates for the total lifetime of the universe which range
from 2**61 seconds to 10**(10**76) years.
> with nanosecond resolution,
*Nanosecond* resolution? As long as we're getting ridiculous,
why not go down to a Planck time unit (about 5.39e-44 second)
resolution?
(The Planck time unit is sqrt(hbar G / c^5) where hbar is the
normalized Planck constant, G is the gravitational constant and c
is the speed of light (in vacuum). Since these are all (believed
to be) fundimental constants of the universe, this time unit is
independent of the units one chooses to use in the measurement of
these values, though (of course) conversion to some other time unit
(such as seconds) will give a unit-specific value.)

>Can't think far enough ahead ;->
Making plans a mere one quintillion (2**60) seconds into the
future with one-second resolution is already a purely absurd game,
as the sun will have become a white dwarf and our geocentric time
system will have long since become a quirky historical artifact.
But if we want to do our best to plan ahead, why not a 1.5e76 bit
time_t value? This allows us to make Planck time unit resolution
plans from the dawn of the universe until all matter collapses
into black holes (assuming that the overall curvature of the
universe is open; if the universe closed then this is overkill).
Oh, I guess that might be problematic --- each time_t value
would require trans-galactic resources to represent, at least
with current technology (with multiple atoms per bit). But if
we will just learn to represent a substantial number of bits per
atom then we might be able to make use of this solution. ;-)
I say that 64-bits is enough for a time_t value if we want
one-second resolution and 128 bits is plenty if we prefer to
have attosecond resolution. At the extremes of this range
we have already overstepped into the land of absurdity,
and we are better off using a different representation for
times outside of this range (which better reflect the actual
level of certainty (or lack thereof)). Between chaos theory
and Heisenburg uncertainty we certainly aren't going to be
making any useful predictions (or appointments) with 1-second
(much less 10**-18 second) precision 2**60 seconds into the
future (or past).

On a Debian system sh is a link to bash. Get a copy of the ash shell (I
could send you one). Link sh to ash instead of bash, fix your system, and
then change the link back.
The best place for Debian questions is the debian-user mailing list. Go to
www.debian.org to subscribe.

His problem is that Debian packages include shell scripts which dpkg runs
as part of the installation process. It might be possible for him to
unpack the .deb with ar and install the binary by hand.

A good point. Make sure that it is bash that is hosed, and not a library.
