I've been using the 2.0.34 kernel for some time and have had a smallish
problem. I have quite a lot of stuff that comes with the Debian
distribution installed, and am also running with Appletalk enabled (and
Netatalk installed).
The IP address and routes are set correctly in /etc/init.d/network,

Hi!
A few days ago I completely switched from SUSE 5.1 to Debian 2.0 HAMM,
and it's a really great distribution.
But some small problems are still left:
- The backspace key behaves like the delete key in XEmacs 20.4 nomule,
but only if I run XEmacs on the Console. Under X it works as expected.

Yes, and I already filed a bugreport on that. The problem is that
the new xlib6 breaks /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale. You can fix the
problem by replacing that symlink with a link to locale.xlib6-old.

May be that's where the fun is -- you never know what interesting things
will come up. And you always got somebody willing to help.
Is your current directory on a NFS filesystem when you do su? Are you having
NFS problems at the same time? I've seen this problem in these circumstances
as the su tries to get the current directory but can't as the remote server
is down/unreachable. Hope this helps.

By mistake, I did a rm /etc/enscript.cfg, and so I decided to
re-install enscript package.

Does anyone know how I can get the window-manager selection combo box on
the kdm screen functioning?
It does allow me to choose window managers... only the selection has no
effect on which one shows up.
if I didn't have startkde in my .xsession, it'd default to fvwm2... Not
fun.

Wow! Thanks for the quick replies, people. Now I get to play with several
approaches.
Are there any good books (starting at a basic level working up) for things
like this? Perl seems to be a hot thing for Linux (as well as shell
programming/scripting). While it will take me a while to get up t
'Tis true. Do I need Caldera's client for this? I think the basic problem
is below this, though.
I've compiled Olicom's token-ring network card driver into the kernel with
no problems. Bootup gives apparently normal messages in this regard except
a test download failure. I also get an SIOADDR
I have two standard ISA serial ports ttyS0/S1 and one internal modem ttyS2 irq5.
The modem is working prefectly. But I cannot make ttyS0/S1 to work at all,
even with minicom?
Is it possible some processes lock out the access? If that the case, why ttyS2
can work freely? And how to resolve it

There's a dos2unix command, looks like it's in the 'sysutils' package;
just 'dos2unix *' if they're all in the same directory; if they're in
different places you can do an appropriate find, like:
dos2unix `find -name "*.cc"`
or something like that. You might want to read the dos2unix man page, I
