Can anybody suggest a good off-line news-reader that I can use with Linux?
I'd prefer one that comes with the Debian distribution - I've looked at
Netscape, but don't like the interface, I'd prefer a text-based one.
I just want to be able to connect to my news server, grab headers and

I want to upgrade one or two of the packages on my system beyond the stable
distribution. The newer packages are all requiring libc6, but that conflicts
(in DSELECT) with libc5 which is a dependence to a _very_ large number of
programs. =:|
What should I do? Forget it and wait?

I have just built and (it would seem) successfully installed the 2.0.33 kernel.
The previous version I had was 2.0.29.
I had previously built and installed the NTFS read-only driver in v29 and it

right.
If you don't need NIS (or don't kn
Lets put it like this.
I tried installing FreeBSD, but gave up because the install routine was buggy
and plainly didn't work at points (this was to allow installs over a PPP link).
Debian had a straight-forward FAQ with "d/l this, this and this. If you have

Your pppd keeps sending Config Requests until it times out. Normally
LCP ConfReq is followed by "received LCP ConfAck" -- received from
remote pppd. So, in your case remote pppd is not running.
