A computer I was doing some upgrades on ceased working. I suddenly
found that I can no longer run X as a user other than root. If I
use xdm, I just get kicked back to the login screen. If I run
startx, the X-server just shuts down with no diagnostic messages.
Unfortunatly I can't even ca

I have set up a debian linux server at our local high school running an
Apache WWW server with the proxy module.
Caching works great but we also need proxy authentication. I am familiar
with how to do this using Netscape Proxy but the functionality is not
(yet) supported by Apache and is specific

Sounds like the system is still a.out, so things may not be as simple as
upgrading dpkg (you will also need to upgrade libraries and have an elf

You can also use the "dftp" package that is available under "rex"

In short, yes, it does run.
I've run Wabi 2.2 on Debian 1.1. The only serious problem I've found is that
the default permissions on /dev/fd0 don't allow acces

I've been trying to do so using floppies whose raw images I ftped. I think
there is a problem with getting these images copied on the floppies...I'm
using a Unix system to make these floppies..and I think it automatically

It's attempting to read the compressed root filesystem at this point. If
that fails, nothing will work the next time it prompts for ENTER, as it
then tries to read an uncompressed root files

quick tip (totally unrelated to the syslogd problem, but useful anyway):
instead of the above line, use
