Folks,
Is there a performance hit for using extended partitions, or should
one be unconcerned about creating them willy-nilly?

Hi all,
I downloaded the base and boot disks from sunsite, but there was no
1200_root_floppy disk there. There was a 1440_root_floppy.
Do I need the 1200_root_floppy to install?
If so, can I use the 1440_root_floppy?
Thanks

The latest pthread library is 1.60 beta4, released on 10/25/95.

I use my debian machine for connecting to the internet via ppp,
however I also want to set it up to use the ppp access at work (We're
behind a firewall at work, so I can't just connect to my ISP and telnet to
work.) I can configure it for either way, but it seems kind of unwieldy to

Suppose you have a window open in the local machine and you telnet to
another one from that window. I discovered that telnet passes the
DISPLAY variable to the remote machine, while rlogin doesn't. Up to
now fine, except possibly for a bug in rlogin that doesn't pass the
env var.
The problem is th

I've been using debian (0.93R6) a while now at home and in my first
office, and never had any problems, till trying to install debian on a
computer at my second office. After installing the base system and running
dselect for the first time with no problems, I keep getting error messages

No, there isn't. I haven't had time to build 2.6.3 yet - we're still
on 2.6.2.

The library is rather uncritical for system programming. You have a function
