The output of safe_finger is truncated even if my terminal has, say
180 columns. Is this the intended behaviour? There is no man page
for safe_finger, so I'd like to know if this should be reported as a
bug or if it is correct. And of course, what does safe_finger do to
get the `safe' name?

Hello,
With the zsh package version 2.6-beta13-2, there is something really
strange happening when root uses zsh: if I do a

command works
Hi all!
Does the iomega ZIP drives work under Linux? I believe there are
two different models.. a SCSI model and a parallel port model.
Do they both work? If so, is it easy to get them working under Linux?

Dear list members,
On my 93R6, fmt (elv-fmt 1.8pl4-19) dumps core whenever I do `!}fmt'
in vi (elv-vi 1.8pl4-19). Anyone else has this trouble? Any ideas
how may I find out what's wrong.
Thanks in advance.

upgraded. It's important

Hi all,
this might be a more unix oriented question but I'll ask it anyway
because it is very debian related too:
I would like to find packages bigger than 459976 bytes and split them
with dpkg-split, if splitting is succesfull I'll remove the package.

I found some time this weekend to finaly set up X windows and was able to
learn enough to put it off again.
The graphics card in my machine is a Trident TGUI 9440 AGI which the docs
say is not yet supported (as of June of 95) but that someone was working
on it. Has there been any news?
