DOS is more forgiving of bad disks than linux is. This is about the only "disk" problem you might have. The only one I've heard of so far. If you put it on a bad disk use another one. Don't use DOS as aguage of a good disk or bad disk, it might be fine for DOS but not for linux. Disable all t

I don't think it's possible to disable core dumps, but I'm not sure. I just thought I'd give you an idea I thought of when reading your post. Why don't you run this program from a RAM disk? Mount a ramdrive and copy the program that dumps core to it. Make sure the program saves the product to

Sounds like you don't have a domain set in sendmail config file. Pine would have nothing to do with this particular error since it uses the local transport (normally). You could also insure that you do have localhost set as smtp host in pine setup. If you have your ISP's host set in pine as s

In the instructions there is a possible explaination. Unless those disks are flawless it will lock just as you have described. It's happened to me. Sometimes you have to go through a few disks before you find a good one. This is because DOS is more forgiving of flaws in a floppy. On 9 May 199
