I see how to use the FvwmBacker module and FvwmBackerDesk to
set an xpm image as wallpaper but I don't see how I can use a

I've just installed potato base via internet and am trying to download

/usr/local is on /dev/hda14

I'm guessing the source is on your disk but you can get kernels from --

Turn off the html in your email program and tell the list why you can't
install. We can't read minds. What errors have you received? What
have you tried to do? What exactly isn't working? That sort of thing.
You will get t

A bit more information would be good. I assume your running squid? Do
you need to? If not you could disable it by changi

using Linux. If you would help me out with this I would appreciate it.
Feel free to expound upon 'alternatives and potential downsides' to
configuring an account this way as I'm always eager to learn more.

I there any way to configure Slink to boot directly into a 'regular
user' account without entering user name or password? In other words
boot directly into a '$' prompt but requiring a password for root. I'm
using shadow passwords.

Here you go --
$ dpkg -S ldconfig
ldso: /sbin/ldconfig.new
ldso: /usr/man/man8/ldconfig.8.gz
$ dpkg -S start-stop-daemon
dpkg: /usr/man/man8/start-stop-daemon.8.gz
dpkg: /sbin/start-stop-daemon
$ dpkg -S install-info
dpkg: /usr/man/man8/install-info.8.gz
dpkg: /usr/sbin/install-info
$ dpkg
There has been some discussion about this on the LFS (Linux From
Scratch) email list. You can search their archives at --
www.pcrdallas.com/mail-archives/lfs-discuss/
One of the subject headings is "optimization" that would be a place to
start for a search. Reading the manpages for your compiler
XF86Setup is the program you want to run to set up 'X' which creates
XF86Config. Have you tried running XF86Setup as root? Do you have
'xbase' installed? Have you verified XF86Setup exists on your system?
Just some things I would look for.

I don't know about a default but I use 'qpopper' on my home system. You
set your mail client to point to the box that contains the pop server
and the user name/password is the user name/password on that box. Then
you can run 'fetchmail' to bring the mail in. You can set it to run as
a daemon. E
I'm sure someone here can tell you exactly where it is. I would guess
somewhere in the directory where you unpacked the source code. A couple
of ways you could find it is use the 'find' command or 'updatedb' and
then use 'locate zImage'
