Does this break under kernel 2.0.30 or do I just need to check out the

that the modem hung.

I've managed to break my X windows: is there any way of restoring
the default so that xdm will boot and a windows manager will be
selected. I can do startx / xinit and get a single xterm but I'd
like xdm and a window manager back. I can reinstall xbase, but
the default postinst refuses to touch
Can anyone advise where I can find this package ?

are latest versions from unstable.
When I try to make a kernel, it falls over fairly early on with a

break. The fix is to put in additional slashes in two regexps : someone

Sorry to be so dense: Patrick was right and mtab was different to
/etc/fstab.
On this machine, /dev/cdrom is soft linked to /dev/sbpcd to please some
programs which prefer it that way.
/etc/fstab had
/dev/sbpcd /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0
and /etc/mtab had
/dev/cdrom /cdrom
I'm sure the answer must be out there somewhere: I'm running Debian from
the unstable tree, cdrom is an old SoundBlaster/Creative double speed.
/etc/fstab has the entry
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0
As a non root user, I can mount the cd - when I try to unmount, I get
