I have installed debian 4 times, and I still have to read the keystroke page very often. 2) The oh-so-long 600 packages list. But I really don't like the Redhat 3.0 installer. It's ugly. If we were to make an X version of dselect, it should look pretty.

I bet it's slowing down your system a lot. It happened to me when I deleted INN: syslog was looking for /var/log/news, and the directory had been deleted. Making /var/log/news again solved the problem. Look into /etc/syslog.conf to see what's the matter.

netscape
Hi all! Reading from linux-kernel, it seems that netscape crashes with the libc 5.4. Quoting from Alan Cox: Unpack libc5.2.18 libc.so.5.2.18 into /usr/local/netscrap/lib. Move netscape into /usr/local/netscrap/lib Add a new script 'netscape' that does export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/netscrap/lib/libc.so.5.2.18 exec /usr/local/netscrap/lib/netscape Now only netscrap uses the old buggy library and you don't inflict it on the rest of your machine. Maybe the netscape package could provide this. Is it possible to have two versions of the libc package at the same time, and use the older one for netscape? Netscape should recommend libc-5.2.18 or libc-5.0.9, because with these versions, its bugs are less evident. All The Best, Marco Wanna have fun?

Yes, but if somebody sends me a message with an e grave, I could overlook the single character when quoting it, and pine will send the message as quoted printable. QP is ugly for a reader which is not MIME compliant. Is there a way to convert the incoming messages into 7 bit characters? PS: it is a pity that only the DOS version of pine supports colors.

pine and MIME
Hi all! It seems that PINE likes to reply to a message using the QUOTED-PRINTABLE encoding whenever it sees strange characters in the message I'm replying to. Can I prevent this behaviour? I'd like to send out plain ASCII files, without things like =E20=E20.

I think Infomagic should put a little more effort in distributing Debian: the booklet instructions cover Redhat and Slackware, which are, by the way, simpler in installation than debian (the main reason is that the user interface of dselect is not intuitive to me, and I kept making errors on my third installation too). So, some people have the feeling that debian is not the way to go, while upgrading a debian installation is of course much simpler than in other distributions. It's my first attempt at Debian (my previous experiences were with slackware 2.1, 2.2., 2.3, 3.0, and little yggdrasil & redhat) and I really like it, altough I've been disappointed by some a.out binaries.
