What Mozilla won't do for you is allow Japanese input. For typing Japanese, I
suggest using Emacs with the Mule extensions. This will allow you to create a
Japanese-coded text file, which can be copied and pasted into an Email

Any decent quality scsi card will have 50 pins. It would be
very shortsighted to buy a 25-pin card just to save a few bucks. There
are plenty of cable adaptors that will allow you to use a 25-pin
device with a 50-pin card.

you enable it on bootup (you can use rcconf). That's all, just set it

There's no simple solution for recovering the data you've already lost.

As someone else pointed out, "apt-get install grub" will install the
grub package. To install it in the mbr, your run "grub-install /dev/hda"
(assuming you are installing it on /dev/hda). However, once you do this,
when you go to reboot, you'll simply be presented with a prompt that
says: "grub>".
