I have been getting this error for about a week now. I was told that it
was a problem with tetex that was now fixed. It doesn't seem to be fixed.

It seems the reason ftp doesn't like this sym link is that the sym link
links to a directory on my win98 file system mounted at /win98. Is there
a way to get around this problem? Thanks.
I have put a sym link in /home/ftp to some other directory on my machine.
However when doing ftp and loging in anonymously and i try to the cd to
the symlink it says no such file or directory. Can anyone help? Thanks
much.
Why when i anonymously ftp to my localhost(127.0.0.1) and i have made
files and directories in /home/ftp/ it doesn't show up when i do an ls
from the ftp session? Any help is much appreciated.
Is there a way to completely lock your screen when you do screen lock from
X? I mean a person could easily type control-alt-backspace or
control-alt-delete and kill your screen lock, or even just
conrtrol-alt-F(x) and get another virtual console or something. Well
thanks in advance for any help.

Have you tried to telnet to your machine from a remote machine? If not
check inetd.conf and make sure telnetd is running there. If it isn't put
it in and then kill -HUP inetd's pid. If you have a default host.allow it
should allow anyone so that is the problem and default hosts.deny is no

I was wondering when you use lilo to manage your boot do you need to add
the line append = "mem=128M" to your win95/98 partition for it to use the
memory beyond 64k or is this only needed when a linux partition is booted?
you can use xbase-configure, xf86config, or XF86Setup to reconfig your X.
As far as lilo goes you need to add a lilo paragraph for your msdos
partition...mine looks something like this.
other = /dev/hda1
label = win98
table = /dev/hda
then rerun lilo to install the new label.
When this is d

I recently upgraded my talk and now it seems to be broken. Whenever i try
to talk to someone on my machine it says waiting for [No connection yet]

I want ppp to start at boot time so I made a script that does has the
following lines
#!/bin/sh
pon MY_ISP
i saved this file to /etc/init.d/pppstuff*
then in /etc/rc3.d/ i did ln -s /etc/init.d/pppstuff /etc/rc3.d/S20pppon
this doesn't start my ppp connection at boot..why not?
can anyone help me
I was wondering how to add auto start things to the boot process. For
example in Solaris if i add a command to start process x in rc2.d it will
start at run level 2 and if i put something in rc3.d it will start at run
level three and so on...how is this accomplished in debian?
Did you install the man pages when you did your install? What is the
error message that you are getting when you say " I cannont get the "man"
pages to work"

My apt seems to be completely broken now. I can't get anything to upgrade
or install because of a problem with libc6-dev. It says something about a
broken pipe. Could someone please help?
i do mount /dev/sda4 /zip -t msdos and it says kernel doesn't recognize a
block device at /dev/sda4, i know i compiled my kernel with scsi iomega
support..when i boot i get this message
scsi0 : Iomega parport ZIP drive
scsi : 1 host.

Today when i did apt-get -f upgrade i got this error:

I asked this question yetsterday buy didnt have mail running so might have
missed the response. But could someone mail me the config.sh script the
xmcd seems to need. I can't get mine to work because that script is not
there so it doesn't recognize my cdrom device and such..
thank you.
I have a question regarding RAM, does linux recognize anything over 64M
of ram? I have 128M on my machine and this is what top reports...
CPU states: 0.5% user, 1.1% system, 0.0% nice, 98.5% idle
Mem: 63344K av, 62092K used, 1252K free, 32960K shrd, 17160K buff
Swap: 130748K av, 1416K
I installed xmcd fresh today but it seems the install didn't create the
config.sh. Could someone look if they have theirs..its usually in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xmcd/config/ and perhaps mail it to me or something.
Maybe there is another problem that i don't know about.
I have an Iomega zip drive that i used in win98, but when i do
mount /dev/sda /zip -t msdos it won't let me saying it doesn't recognize a
block device tehre, anyone know the problem? Perhaps i'm useing the wrong
dev or there is something else?
thanks
When i do this it asks for the file system type?
mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
hmm, it also gives me same message when i do mount /dev/hdc /cdrom
i can't mount devices anymore...ouch..i konw there is easy answer to this
i just forget.
