is I can't figure out how to get gnome-terminal off

I don't know how but every file and directory has recursively changed in
my home directory. What has changed is group and owner of all files.
they are all now "1000".
I can change the owner to "kent" but not the group. When I try to do
that I get - "invalid group name 'kent'". I looked in /
I don't know how but all the directories and files in my /home
directory changed group and ownership. They were listed as -

I wasn't allowed to change the group. I got the following er

I'm making my first attempt at running electronic mail. I have exim,
fetchmail and mutt installed. Right now I'm attempting to send mail. From
what I understand exim is the program that sends the mail out from mutt.
Anyway when I try to send mail to my local isp this is some of the error
message
I just tried using fetchmail in the 'check' mode "fetchmail -c
mail.inebraska.com" and got the following error:
skipping poll of mail.inebraska.com, s10/10.0.2.15 down
I'm using the example ~/.fetchmailrc file. Within that file there is an
entry:
defaults
interface "s10/10.0.2.15 #SLIRP Stand
OK getting closer. I ran--
$ fetchmail -c mail.inebraska.com
Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
fetchmail: Authorization failure on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fetchmail: authorization error while fetching from mail.inebraska.com
fetchmail: Authentication failed for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I was prompted for
I don't think the last message I sent went through due to me
changing some things in the rc files. Ayway I will start over.
I changed the "poll" section in .fetchmailrc and now I get:
$ fetchmail -c mail.inebraska.com
8 messages for xyf at mail.inebraska.com (17181 octets).
So it seems I am clos

1000 lines of man page I could figure this fetchmail stuff out:)

where you have something like --

This is a mail list for people who are using Debian Linux. What are you
asking exactly? Outlook express won't work with Linux directly. You
could use it if you networked your windows box to a Linux box which was
connected to the net.

My experience with Storm from a magazine is it wouldn't install unless I
used the text based installer. Using the graphical installer the
installation would stop dead at a certain point. No there is no option

Create a directory ".fvwm2" in your home directory, if you don't have
one. In that directory create the file "background.color" put in the
color you want for example mine is "DarkSlateGray4" Make sure you have
a line in your ".fvwm2rc" file that looks like this --

First you need to find out if that card is supported. If it is then
find out which driver you need. Then you compile that driver into you
kernel or as a module. Someone may know which card your talking about
and tell you which driver you need, if it is supported. If not there

Someone will probably answer with more detail but see --

and look at 'man dpkg.' I have to run.
The kernel compiling is listed in the FAQ also. Install the
kernel-package and read the docs there.

To learn more about Linux. To make the kernel smaller so you have
shorter boot times. Those are a couple of reasons to do so. I bet I

This may not be related to you immediate problem but I would suspect
your PS/2 has a mca microbus, if I remember correctly. If that is the

together a kernel and installation disks for machines with mca. It has
been so long I don't r

There is a program 'hostname' you can use but if I remember right to
