I'd like to have 2 login screens come up when kdm (or xdm) starts up - one
that I can log in as root on, and another for my normal user account (which I
use most often). I've seen reference to multiple displays in the X docs, but
it isn't very clear o

If Winzip handles ar packed files, then it can be used. a deb is an ar package

Hi all,
I can dial to my ISP without any trouble but the /etc/ppp/ip-up and ip-down

I'm using a ppp-on and ppp-off scripts to start/close the connection,
these are just normal ppp scripts.
thanks in advance for any hint.

I have no ldd executable.
I installed slink onto a tabula rasa i386 PC a few days ago, using

to look for, is that the slink base install included an

Make sure that logging is enabled in the ppp conf files and then look in the
log files for any errors. Also, did you try running the scripts yourself? Do
they run happily?
Hey,
I have a Memorex CRW-1622 2/2/6 CD-RW and it works great. If

An addendum to my 2 previous posts.
I can go all the way through setup: partitioning OK, loading devices OK,
installs and configures base system OK. I chose not to configure PCMCIA
support this time, and I've stopped getting the "problem extracting Base

Are you sure they are not running? They are run with stdout redirected to
/dev/null, so you won't see any output.

Actually, Winzip (since 6.x anyway) can handle the format fine. It takes a
couple passes, though, and I've had problems sometimes with Linux trying to
read the results, but if the objective is just to unwrap a package to see
what's in there it will work...

So what makes you think they are not run when you dial in?
You know that they run with redirected stdout and stderr to /dev/null?

I know this is going to sound cheesy to all you hardcore guys out there, but
is there a way to bring back the install script that comes with slink at the
beginning of the install process? It's the script that let's you choose
certain categories of packages rather than searching 1 by 1 for packages

There is no good way. If you need the scripts to tell you something, have them
store it in a file. the ppp scripts could be run via an X app, so you would
