 I know how to use `dmesg` but I would really like to be able to get

You can check the messages during boot-up:

* Shift-(PgUp|PgDn) as desired

* Control-q to continue

This eliminates the need for a ~/.forward.  But it does result in

I've recently started piping my incoming debian-user  debian-devel

leave the clear text intact.

You'll also note the I'm striping any existing Distribution: header.
I mark all incoming messages Distribution: local when they are gatewayed
to news.  This is so that they won't get reposted to the group.
Recently I found that some mailing list messages arrive with an

header.  Maybe I ought to report this as a bug...

 But the computer makes other sounds like beeps etc.  Does this mean the

I don't think that this setting controls the BIOS beeps (e.g. boot-up
beeps).  Have you tried pressing Fn/F4 a few times until you can hear a
beep (it cycles through off-soft-medium-loud)?

 You can set up MIME handlers in your srm.conf so that you can access

 even without the module. You only need the module for speed.
I'll have to RTFM _again_ and figure out what I've missed.  The nasty-

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Ben Gertzfield) writes:
 I've gotten them all twice today as well -- from what seems to be a
 usenet - debian-user gateway somewhere in Britain.

Looks to me like the gateway operator overlooked the Distribution: header in
his news/mail gateway.  This weekend I completed setting up the Newsgate
package so I've had the (dis)pleasure of getting it all to work.

What I found (as usual the docs are just a bit opaque) is that, when
gatewaying mail to news you can specify a distribution header.  I do it
like this in my .procmailrc (note the -d switch):

:0:
* ^TOdebian-user
| /usr/bin/mail2news -n debian.user -d local -x internet



Then, to keep your news2mail gateway from redistributing the messages that
have arrived through your mail2news gateway, you exclude that particular 
distribution like this (from my cnews /etc/news/sys file):

internet:debian.user/all,!local::news2mail debian-user@lists.debian.org

If your backups are critical you might not want to compress them at all.
Or, at least, be careful how the compression is performed.  Compression
before archiving (gzip then tar) is more forgiving of media errors than
compression after archiving (tar then gzip).  In the latter case you
will lose more data if the archive/tape is corrupt.

IMHO: Get a bigger tape.

I had a bit of difficulty getting dump to work with my T-4000s (4Gb TR-4).  
What worked for me was defining the tape size in 1K blocks (even though the 
tape block size is different):

dump 0ufB /dev/nst0 400 /

So, in your case, try

dump 0ufB /dev/nst0 200 /

Are you are trying to use RealPlayer5.0 with Netscape Navigator?

Try adding the LD_LIBRARY_PATH lines to your netscape wrapper file 
(/usr/X11R6/bin/netscape) like this:

#!/bin/sh

export MALLOC_CHECK_=0
export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=$HOME/.netscape/plugins:/usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins:
/usr/lib/netscape/plugins
#
# Add the next line to make RealPlayer5.0 work
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/rvplayer5.0b1
#
exec /usr/lib/netscape/netscape $@

 It might still be a good candidate for some work; the package is 
 version 2.2, and MRTG 2.3 has been out for a while now.

Looks like we have the inevitable bit of duplication going on...

I've got a (~) package of MRTG-2.4 that I made for my own use a short
while ago.  Since it's compiled against libc5 I've not wanted to UL it.

FWIW I've got mrtg cooperating with diald; mrtg watches /dev/sl0 when
the link is down  /dev/ppp0 when the link is up.

Problems with Speak-Freely under Debian Linux

I don't have an explanation.  But I do have the same problem.

 I was able to send voice, but when it returned to me, sfspeaker
 started to write error messages:
