Here's another:

Nope, "as86" is the wrong one. Install the "binutils" package, and you'll
get "as". You also need as86 for other things, but unless I'm mistaken it's
used only to assemble 16-bit code like boot sectors.

This is on a Debian 1.1 system.

Here's the embarassing part. I've never had Linux crash on me before.
So what do I do with this core file?

After upgrading from Debian 1.1 to Debian 1.2 successfully, I decided
to see if my own "rescue kit" consisting of the 6 Debian 1.2 installation
diskettes and an NFS server with all of the packages installed on my
machine on it would work. I had wanted to repartition my drives more
sensibly anyway.
Installing a custom kernel following the direction in:
/usr/doc/kernel-source-2.0.27/debian.README.gz
but before you do this, you need to apply the patch described in Bug
#5659. Unfortunately, this fix didn't get into the Debian-1.1 release.

Thanks very much. I am a new (or new again ... I haven't been on the

Just (as root) add it, and rerun ldconfig, and you should be fine.

The distribution has gotten so large that 1.2 barely fits on a CD, leaving
no room to include bo.

Yes, what machine do you have? If you have intel(i386) then you won't
have packages for others like alpha,

Let me preface this message by letting everyone know that I am *very* green

couple of times, read some of the online doc, and browsed the Linux ng's,

There's a separate package that contains as86. The package is
bin86 and can be found from section devel. Here's the

Hi!
I installed debian 1.14 a few weeks ago, and have found some problems.

2.- mc fails to work saying that there is no libgpm.so
3.- I canot run executor, as I need libgdbm.so.2, and there is no package

You can find Multias on sale for $800 or less. Check
out comp.sys.dec and misc.forsale.computers.workstations.
You will find used machines as well
You need the libgpm package.
