I admit that I am crating a lot of trouble myself, just
poking in things and compiling new kernels, but thats the
beauty of it, and as long as there's this kind of support,

installing a new kernel, and here's the symptoms::

Ok... I fixed the termcap problem I was having in loading Xsetup. But
now whenever I type Xsetup, I get a segmentation fault. This is no

I just had a server lock up with the same messages on a slink (2.0.36 kernel)

Well, ok just the first 2 messages. I came in this morning and the last two

Okay, is there any walk-through written on how to configure my home
