2.1.29 seems pretty stable. From what I gather, for later ones you
are better off not using modules and then I think you're sa

Regarding the "wish list" for the dselect replacement:
1 A "what if" command: Tell me what you would do if I said "do it".
I found with dselect I'd somehow told it to remove lots of

rather than trying to figure out dselect.

sed, head AND tail? Isn't that
It took me quite a while to get the power-saving blanking to work
under X. Here's what I did (for a Number Nine (S3-based) card).
I don't know if it is necessary, but it seemed to me that I had
to make 2 changes; one in the "Device" section and one in the
"Screen" section. I put both changes a
I'm not familiar with Xplaycd but a couple of things struck me
as possible problems.
1. Did you "xrdb" your .Xresources file after the change?
2. Are you sure that xplaycd understands the "~" notation?
Try putting the full path name in and see if that makes a
difference. I mean, something

I prefer zsh, I find it easier to work with. For a while it had
several features missing from bash (and most shells), but bash has

seem to be in bash (
