Try to make sure that eval `dircolors` is seeing your customized
config file. It no longer looks for the old defaults so you should
specify the path aka: eval `dircolors $(HOME)/.dir_colors`

I am having problems getting ppp to work with a script. It works *fine*
manually, using minicom to dial, and executing 'pppd /dev/ttyS2 38400'
I've tried this as root.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have!

Hello,
I recently got a Megahertz CC/XJEM3288 combo card for my Toshiba
Tecra 500CDT. This is supposed to be supported according to all
docs I've found (which wasn't too much, really). The problem is
that it wan'ts to configure the card wrong. I don't even care
about the serial side yet, which

I'm having absolutely no luck building a working multicast routing

a 'normal' kernel (in both cases, I'm actually dynamically loading the

If the packages that should be installed first are the ones that have their
'Priority' control field set to 'required' then you can find them all with my
package finder tool. I guess dselect also selects them all.
The finders current location (subject to change) is

In preparation for linux 2.1, I recently upgraded binutils to 2.7-3,
and libc5 (& -dev) to 5.4.7. While compiling 2.1.5, it bombed
out saying entry.o not found (in arch/i386/kernel); entry.S was
there, but for some reason wasn't compiled (assembled).
I gave up at the time.

Since the last version of GhostScript was included in the distribution,
I can't use magicfilter to automagically print my PostScript files. The
reason seems to be : ghostscript now uses SVGAlib. To get I/O
permissions for a 'base' user, it should then be set to +s I believe. Is
that safe to do ? W
Yet another problem with libc5.4.7-- but only if we back out to the
previous stable version.
Specifically; the latest cpp and gcc packages [the ones on which I based
my objc-compatible gcc/cpp packages] REQUIRE libc5.4.7. So, backing out on
5.4.7 will likely require backing out to gcc 2.7

Since libc 5.4.7 seems to be incompatible with so much current software, maybe
it should be renamed libc 6.0. That would make it easier to keep around a
copy of libc 5.2.18 for backwards compatibility, as is now being done for libc
4. Whether or not there it was intended that there be much new fu
