I just installed IceWeasel 2.0.0.2 included in today's
dist-upgrade. Although my preference remains a blank

Debian Sid. Same symptoms you described above. After some fiddling
around, I realized it was a permission problem - worked fine as root.
Solved by adding plugdev group to my user account. I guess this

As root, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Add something like this:

root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Change (hd0,0) to something else if dos isn't on the first partition (hda1).

I'm still
dragging my heels about doing occasional backups to dvd for off-site.
I decided to dump fat32 in favor of a journalling filesystem for a little
extra safety and chose reiserfs only because that's what my machines use.
Time will tell if these were wise decisions!

Thanks for responding. Without gnofin, my checkbook reverts to
order-of-magnitude approximations: a bit of bug
gnofin vanished from my Kanotix install a couple of weeks ago ... probably
during one of those big dist-upgrades. When I apt-get install gnofin, apt
said:
Package gnofin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

I don't use gnome, but here's one way. If /etc/sudoers includes:
username ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt
and
I did a long-delayed apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday. I was waiting until
packages I frequently use had been removed from the "will be REMOVED" list.
gparted was still on the "will be REMOVED" list and really was removed.
As an experiment, I entered "apt-get install gparted" ... expecting apt to
bkipi0c2
libkleopatra0a libkmime2 libkpimexchange1 libkpimidentities1
libksieve0 libktnef1 libmimelib1c2 libmusicbrainz4c2
libopenexr2c2 libtag1c2 libtunepimp2c2 smb4k
... followed by many-many updated packages, including OOo.
I hope you have a recent backup!

Hi Jeremy!
fdisk says hda2 is an extended partition that contains three Linux
partitions. My *guess* is that you
tone, no dialing. Same source compiled and run under DOS fails at
fopen().
I can send ATDT5551212 from minicom and linux dials as desired, but I need a
little program that accepts the number as an input param.
What magic is missing here?
Thanks!

Agreed. I think you also need two additional parameters in the kernel line:
