Hi all,
Recently I all my hypens(-) in my man pages have started to show up as

Hi,
I am using my linux machine as a firewall, eth1 is connected to the
internet and eth0 is for my local network. The local network only exists
of the firewall and another computer connected via a cross-wired utp

I've got a PIII/450, 128MB, Diamond Viper 770 TNT2 system here
running potato current and it's quite slow in X. Dragging windows

In addition, the GLX support on my G200 runs twice as quick as the
TNT2. This is a pretty appalling situation, really.

Two ways: either mount the floppy, or use mtools.

You must first mount the floppy or CDROM as a directory, then just treat it as

Hello,
While searching the net to dig deeper into my recently posted
PCMCIA-SCSI -> JVC XR-W2040 problem, it appears that the
/dev/sr0 device can't be "made" using MAKEDEV sr0 from /dev...

of configuring SCSI CDROMs do not work fo

I've been getting a strange scenario lately with trying to upgrade to

Hi,
I have upgrade my system from slink to potato, but during
installation of `tetex-base' package I get the following message

Sorry that I didn't follow up early. Left for a while. Any way, the ppplog
shows that some times I am able to connect, some times I am not. This makes
me believe that the problem is with the time ppp waits before hanging up. How
can I change these parameters? Also, what is the best browser availabl

Hello,
While waiting for my post to show up, I digged a little
deeper, and found that irq3 was not being excluded by
PCMCIA. I excluded IRQ3 and IRQ5 (which it
picked up sometimes, but states it is wrong) and it now
uses IRQ9 like it does when running windows 95.
The dmesg output is included be
