My Pine mailbox doesn't seem to refresh itself as it should, or at least

Can a damaged memory chip fry a motherboard?
I'm reading in my nice big PC maintenance bible that a
sudden surge or drop in power can damage a memory chip.
The user did indeed wind up shutting down the PC by
cutting off the surge strip. If that damaged the memory

I had a similar problem. One of my IDE hard drives started making some
clicking noises. The OS (Linux) was still working OK, but I shut down just
in case. I decided to pull the offending drive out of the computer, but
first I needed to get some important files off of it. Tried to boot the
computer
Thanks for responding Eric!

I have just installed Debian from the basic CD, the basic install went
fine, it configured itself to be able to get out through my gateway (I have
an ISDN router) and I can browse the web with lynx and telnet, ftp etc.

Ooh, I just got done with this one myself, actually. I have yet
to find a good how-to for it; maybe I'll write one. [grin]
