replace the scsi disk, boot from the floppy, check dmesg to see what

Eric,
Thanks for the tip to avoid having to switch the drives, unfortunately,
I already tried to switch the drives and it did not work. Yes, the
partition was marked as bootable.
I think that switching the drive location may have, originally, been the
problem. Unfortunately, having tried severa

Hi, I'm trying to run Quake 2 in Debian 2.4.5. I installed it and a new
version of libc5 to satisfy its need for libm.so.5 and such other libs. I
moved quake2.conf to /etc. I put the files in /usr/local/games/quake2 and I
put a copy of all the libs in /lib, /usr/lib, and /usr/local/lib, but it
Can anyone tell me what kind of file this is and how to read /edit it

Thanks,
All that's there ... about the only wrinkle I have that perhaps I should
have done differently at the very start is I left both disks on 'cable select'

Hi All,
I am having trouble with gnome-session and was hoping someone might be
able to help me out. The problem is that I cannot get gnome-session to
start. When I have gnome-session in my .xinitrc, X crashes. X will run
when gnome-session is removed from .xinitrc, but when I try to start

A certain text file has become un-editable
and "invisible" to 'cat.'
Doing 'ls -al' on this file reveals that it
has attribute 's' in the permissions string,
