will run 9.1, I do believe, and have OF although it isn't nearly as
nice.

working. Fixed it by either running an active screensaver or using
the built-in blanking, and I also put this in my .xinitrc (probably
different for you since you use a display manager):

look in the archives
regarding the new input layer, building the new devices, etc. It's a
little tedious but it isn't hard to fix. The kernel and input layer
are messed up on the 2.2r2 boot floppies, yes.

Magic is about right.
You could:
* install netatalk
* configure afpd to serve your "linux files"
* install Mac-on-Linux
* run Mac-on-Linux and connect to your netatalk server
That's quite a hassle and probably
you could tell MSN Explorer or whatever evil email client
you use, to send your posts in plaintext? I think a lot more
people on this list will read your posts if you do that, since I
don't believe HTML is acceptable on this list. Thanks!

f those, you could certainly install SSH and connect
from other systems. But you have to be able to log into the machine and
type commands like "apt-get install ssh" first - could be tricky.
