The boot floppies contain a program called star that extracts a tar on
the standard input. Someone could beef this up a bit or at least document
it. The boot floppies make a reasonable rescue disk set now.

currently barely (if even that) have time to maintain the packages I'm

In the present configuration, the viewer lynx for HTML files
does not work on virtual filesystems. This problem can be
solved by a small change in the mc.ext. We have to substitute
the 'lynx -dump %d' in the viewer line for HTML files
by 'lynx -dump -force_html %f'.

I think the NIS problems with /etc/group could be solved in the following
way:
1. Implement a cache for the initgroups library call that is so frequently
used to find all groups a user belongs to. This will also improve
general performance without NIS since the search of the complete

I noticed while installing Debian 1.1 that the lynx package is slightly
out of date (version 2.4; newest is 2.6).

Does anybody know who the maintainer is, and/or whether this package has
been orphaned?
