I agree that your browser's probably silently uncompressed it and neglected to strip the '.gz' extension - Netscape is notorious for doing this. You might find it easier to add 'deb-src' lines to /etc/apt/sources.list paralleling the existing 'deb' lines, 'dselect update' as root, and then you can 'apt-get source login'. > any recompiling or upgrading will be useless - you just can't send > keystrokes to a program that didn't started yet! No, they can be buffered on the terminal. Try typing at 'sleep 5; cat </dev/tty' if you don't believe me. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
