Now the same procedure is painfully complaining about an "illegal instruction" an

I'll receive many XML files containing data to be loaded into a DB.
What could I use to have a look at them via, e.g., mozilla or whatever else?
(Of course, I'm not referring to the plain XML text itself but to the organized items
contained in it, the "tree", the "nodes", etc.)

Friends,
(Sorry, I'm writing on a webmail, I can control the layout of this message!)
On a debian 3.0 Alpha WS I had set up the American English language as locale and
it's worked fine until I've changed the gdm language from English to Italian then
back to English (C/Posix).
The error be
Under debian 3 I've set up a small server working as a router of a dsl connection. For
this reason I have a firewall like this:

EXTIF="ppp0"
INTIF="eth1"

because my beloved debian has grown over time, I'd like to move the entire 1.6 GB /usr
directory to a reiserfs /dev/hdb6 partition.
I had a go at it mounting a /usr-bis directory to /dev/hdb6 and issuing a "cp -A
At office I'm trying to "rescue" an old IBM risc 6000 - 7012/320 workstation doomed to

Is there anyone in this list able to tell me if I can install debian ppc on it and -
booting from diskette - what architecture chrp, prep, what else?
Thanks Vittorio

I'm trying to make diald work with a dsl connection.
I've seen that diald with a ppp modem connection works fine (even with that
SIOCSIFMETRIC: warning- see below) as well as the dsl connection alone (using 'pon
dsl-provider' to start it).
But substituting 'dsl-provider' into /etc/diad/diald.pro
With woody I use mozilla as my pet browser with two alternative profiles under the
same user:
One, for PPP internet dialup connections; the other one for network connections at
office via eth0 and a proxy.
Now it happens that when I start the first profile (PPP) the Java support works fine

I've restored my woody installation (which included a working jpilot through the irda

Now, syncing my Palm with jpilot on /dev/ircomm0 (it works via minicom, I can connect
to my provider!), it doesn't work any longer and the
I made a mess of my woody installation, perfectly running with gdmand gnome 1.4 and
sawfish, to move from ext3 to reiserfs ;( (I forgot to backup /dev and /etc)!
So I re-installed everything from scratch using the CDs.
