I managed to mess with /etc/fstab on our Alpha running OSF/1 in such a
way that it is now unbootable. I had initially wanted to install Linux
anyway, so if there are any pointers to install instructions
(particularly how to get it to boot from floppies) as well as binary
releases, I would apprecia

Is /home mounted from its own partition? If so, perhaps it's just
unmounted because of some filesystem problem at boot time.

Supposedly, Debian packages install menu data for FVWM 2.x and Debian's menu
system.
I just installed the fvwm2 package, but the application menu is pretty much
empty.
Do I have to reinstall every package that has a menu entry? (I hope this isn't
Windoze.)
Or is there some way to re-run the
I'm using xinetd(xinetd.conf).
In xinetd.conf I have the following defaults for all services:

log_type= SYSLOG daemon
log_on_success = PID HOST EXIT DURATION
log_on_failure = HOST ATTEMPT RECORD
}
Can I also specify another log for telnet, ftp, rlogin

When ifconfig reports packet errors, does this mean errors that
were caught and corrected, or does it mean errors that got through?
On a different, but related, subject, does dselect check the
md5sum of packages when installing?

I upgraded several packages last night from 1.2 to Frozen. Most of the
packages were important packages in section base. I DID NOT upgrade

Why am I suddenly getting the following error when sendbatches runs?

Actually, I probably don't mean "desktop."

I am having difficulty compiling kernel 2.0.27 2.
So I tried a compile without any of the kernel features for the sake of
diagnosing the problem, and the problem persisted.
It comes at the end when compiling is finished and make calls the ld
command:

I suspect that xinetd isn't attached to any terminal, and thus an open
of /dev/tty would fail. Without investigating the problem further,
I suggest it should probably be using /dev/console or a log file.
Thanks

need PPP. Then reboot or say e.g.

Didn't really spend much time on the problem, but I would be very courious
as to what is causeing the message.
btw: I also added default setting for all services. The install did not do
this, it just converted all of inetd services over. Also remember

The list has 854 subscribers currently, and I've seen it slightly above
1000 at times. There are another 191 on the -digest form of the list.
