Hello Debian Users List!,
I seem to be having problems with Netscape 3.01 spawning zombie
'netstat' processes, and thus hanging. I was wondering if anybody knows a
fix for this. The only cause I can think of for this is that the Netscape

Set up a procmail recipe to identify the appropriate messages and then pipe
them through formail which can redo the subject.
I had a line in my ~/.bash_profile like this:
export PATH=".:~/programs/bin:"$PATH":/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin"
... hashing it out fixed the netscape problem. It also runs from the
fvwm2 menu now, since I added:

All Linux distributions without exception have decided to use it, as far as

Hi,
Two days ago I managed to recompile my own kernel. It went roughly OK
I only tried it on my office computer today though and there seems to be a
problem. I seem to have chosen a wrong option since at a very early stage
of booting I get the following error
VFS: cannot open root device 03:03
Thanks for your reply
I am afraid root is set to /dev/hda3
The precompiled 2.0.29 kernel works fine. The problem seems to be in the
options chosen for the new kernel . I just don't know which one I must
change :-(
Thanks
