Hope you're having nice holidays!
In order to test Linux, I got the special issue of the German
periodical "CHIP- Linux für (1. Linux Ausgabe 1999)"
It came with two disks, providing the Debian GNU/ Linux 2.0.

If you have X-windows up and running try typing "pacman" without the

pacman only works under "X."
Hope that helped,

Well, I bet you have xfstt package from hamm. It was old and broken. Get
xfstt from slink - it should work fine.
The actual xfstt executable is indeeed located in /usr/X11R6/bin.
In /etc/init.d thereis a script that is used to start and stop the daemon.

What you look for is not the executable file xconfig.
When you make a new kernel, you use the program "make".
When you use the program "make", it refers to the file "Makefile"
in the current directory.

Indeed yes, PCMCIA is running, the modem card is one of the Xircom duals.
The system recognizes it correctly, and I had even begun to download the
