I have a curious problem with cutting&pasting 8-bit characters between

It arises when pasting into a window in which a remote machine is logged

There's a bit more to it. There is a race condition that would permit you

My Debian Linux 2.0 cannot use more than 460MB sawp :(
Below is a description of my problem.
I have Pentium II, 512 Mb RAM, Linux debian 2.0,
kernel 2.0.36
I need quite big swap, so I created 7 swap partitions
hda3,hda5,...,hda10, as seen below:
/dev/hda1 *11 420 3175168
That would be in the X11 directory.
If you goto www.debian .org follow the debian package links.
When you choose a package this way it will list all dependent and recommend
packages. This is the simplest I know to check out dependences.

There is a similar thread going on on linux-kernel that may be apropos to

The problem is most likely that your username in windows is not the same
as the debian username you are entering the password for.

Why not install sysvinit 2.75 - since that is the minimum

Ok, what I suggested earlier was to try installing
