I actually have two problems. The first is that I have no backspace button. A previous debian-user email had a solution to get the ALT key to act as the META key in emacs. Well , unfortunately when I tried the solution, the only result was the deletion or misplacement of my X keyboard config file. When I go to XF86Setup program it comes back with the following message :
"Not all of the X keyboard extension programs and configuration files are installed. The file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11xkb/symbols/us is missing. <OK> " And then it promptly exits. I have made a major BOO BOO and I haven't a clue how to fix it due to my ignorance of the Linux system. This is VERY aggravating not being able to use the backspace button. My second question is not nearly a priority as the first one. When I boot my Linux from lilo and fsck performs a file system check on my /dev/hda3, I get 4 or 5 lines saying I have a segmentation fault in line such and such. Everything seems to work fine after the boot up but it is annoying that I have a 'segmentation fault" and I don't know what to do to fix it. Do I use fsck or e2fsck to fix it or is it a problem to be concerned with. Monte Copeland Knoxville, TN
