Richard,
Would you elaborate on alternatives to dbus? For example, I need to
use okular (although I hate its terminal-spamming) and I believe
(speaking from memory) that

Shouldn't it return the value of $? that was set when it was called? Or
should checkfs be changed?

Or perhaps should the 1_5_0_11 version of the development book be used?
As Romans used to say: bis dat qui cito dat (which means "He gives twice
who gives quickly"). Doesn'y apply to SUN.

In Ch. 7.6 (stable version):
"If still in doubt, look in the /usr/share/kbd directory for valid
keymaps and screen fonts"
In my system there is no such directory. I suppose the correct one is
/lib/kbd/.
Bug? Or is there something wrong with my system?

this harmless? Is it worth

Is this possible at all? I just mounted the CD image via loopback
device, but I can't figure out what to do next, as it doesn't look like
a regular populated filesystem.
