I have a problem concerning mtools (potato/ppc, 2.2.19pre17, PB 3400).
The first time I do "mdir", everything's fine. But the second time I
always get "Can't open /dev/fd0: device or ressource busy. Cannot
initialize 'A:'", until I reboot.

Be sure the loopback is enabled.
Either put the lines
#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
into /etc/init.d/network (the pre-2.2 style)
or the make sure the line
iface lo inet loopback
is not commented out in /etc/network/interfaces.
/etc/hosts should contain:
127.0.
Sorry to follow-up my own post, I forgot to say that if you use

Don't know anything about newer PBs; on my 3400, I have switched to

As Helix Gnome dev seems long broken, I thought of using dpkg-cross to
compile for PPC on my i586. The potato version of dpkg-cross comes
with m68k configuration only. Would that be OK, or else, what would I
have to do?
