I have Netscape Communicator 4.7 and RealPlayer 6.0.4.433 (Beta)

No, apt-get check doesn't fix it. The file corruption prevents

I've upgraded my slink system to a 2.2.10 kernel, by downloading
the kernel sources and using make-kpkg. I also upgraded to the
new versions of netbase and dhcpcd, and almost everything works
fine.
The only problem I've seen is that I cannot print anymore. After
attempting a print job, lpq shows

XEmacs takes an annoyingly long time to start up. It does not appear to
be using CPU or doing disk access--it just "pauses" for a few seconds
while starting.
I tried an "strace xemacs" to see what system calls were being made.
During the slow part of startup, here's what it was doing:

What is the correct way to switch between different "alternatives"? For
example, currently my /usr/bin/vi points to nvi. What is the right way
to change it to point to vim or elvis? I know how to use 'ln -s' to
create/change links, but I suspect that I should really use
'update-alternatives' or
x27;m going out of town for a week, and will try to figure this out on my
own when I get back. But if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate
hearing them.

Is there a Debian package with the Linux HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs? I can't
find it, but I'm pretty sure I had one at some point.
