Hi,
There have been previous discussions on this topic but I never quite
understood them. As near as I can tell, an "out of the box" hamm/frozen
system has the backspace key configured differently than it was in
Debian 1.3.
The particular example that concerns me most is under the application

Take a glance at xinit or startx's man page. It boils down to a -bpp

The news about X11 is among the more disturbing items I've

but I never thought that corporate greed would sink to

hda9 mounted on /rep. The thing is, I've been running out of space so

Which resulted in a /rep/usr directory being created. Then I did

Hello!
I installed grep_2.1-6 and /etc/init.d/xdm didn't work
until downgrade to 2.1-4.
It seems
grep -q ^start-xdm /etc/X11/config
doesn't work more with grep_2.1-6.
Where is the problem and how to fix it?

First, the '_' character is illegal in host names. RFC 952 contains the
requirements for hostnames:
