Re: backup all the changes I made to the "virgin debian system"

Excuse me but isn't /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim suppose to finish (i.e. fork and get out of the way) quickly like all pppd scripts are? I'm putting a & at the end of this line /usr/sbin/exim -qf & otherwise half the phone call is wasted waiting for exim to finish. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)258

Was told to "change my system theme"

On https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=914504 they tell me to "change my system theme". So how shall I "change my system theme"? And will it affect other things more that the white on black text? Are they talking about picking another icewm theme?

how to move console up half a character?

On the chvt 1..6 terminals there is a white line at the bottom of my laptop's screen that I would like to avoid. How can I move the whole console upwards half a character? But then that would shove the top line halfway off the screen. So I suppose I need to make the number of rows one less.
