 hi, i grabbed the binary of APache 1.1.1 (ELF) from apache.org and when i
 tried to run it i got the message cant find libgdbm.so  so i grabbed the
 libgdbm (dev) package from debain.org but this didnt have this file either.
 What am i mising here?

Why deb?  You need the libgdbm packag itself.

Re: How to move the system to a new hard disk?

It's best to boot from floppies (to avoid endless loop of the following
command), mount your old disk under, say, /mnt, and your new disk under,
say, /mnttt.  Well then just run the following command:
cp -dpR /mnt /mnttt
If you want to see which files are copied, add the switch -v.  It will
take a little long time :)

Then, Don't Forget To Re-install Lilo!  (maybe after you remove your old
disk, and boot from floppy giving the kernel root=somtehing parameter,
and then you maybe have to rdev /vmlinuz /dev/hda1 or something).

Have fun,
Vadik.

 Maybe it was, but vi, as all good, small programs, suffers from
 creeping featurism, and the result:

But ae is somewhat broken -- it puts DOS-style CR/LF as EOL :(  I had
problems with /etc/modules until I installed vi and realized the problem.

 For some reason, XDM never blanks the screen.  I would like to use
 xautolock to either run xlock as a screen saver or maybe even apm -S 
 to suspend the machine.
 
 How would I do this?  can I put it in one of XDM's configuration scripts?

The config file you need to change is /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 (for the
console).  Just put the line xautolock params  into this file.

Yeah.  These are made by lilo and patched for me.  Now I sent these

 you might try adding an -L/usr/X11R6/lib to the CFLAGS line of the

 I also had this sort of trouble a long time ago. Which compiler version

It's better to run this command from /usr:
ln -s X11R6 X11

 It is a misnomer in the configuration of the GCC, ld I think.
