Ah. Objection already noted. But thank you.

Erm... why would I want to do that? I use the bootdisk if I want Linux,
otherwise I leave it out and descend into the horror of the Winborg collective.
I would have thought a boot manager on a removable floppy was redundant; is
there some benefit I'm not seeing?

I don't either. Therein doth lay the "kernel" of the problem (ha ha).

I mean that: I 'pon office', the dial goes out, modems handshake, carrier is
detected and established. Under 2.0.34, everything works fine. Under 2.0.36, I
have a) no functionality and b) 'ifconfig' reports no ppp interface. Oh, an no
eth0 interface either, just one lo interface.

I'm pretty sure I installed it; what are these questions of which you speak?
Would there be a complete-and-total-idiot-god-i-hate-myself step-by-step guide
to magicfilter anywhere?

No changes to apache.conf whatsoever, no 'apacheconfig', no manual edits,
absolutely ZERO interference.
I changed window managers a couple of times (that reminds me, is there a deb for
Enlightenment anywhere?). Apache managed to stay running after I installed
Netscape. I 'pppconfig'ed a couple of entries. I used 'gimp' for the first time.
I just honestly can't see how any of the above changes could affect Apache. At
this rate, I'm going to have to uninstall and reinstall it, while juggling
dselect's dependencies.

I will (have to reboot for that, at the moment I'm a part of the Gates
collective. Quel horreur and please pardon my pathetic French, I took Russian
and German). Thank you very much for the hints.
