Hi,
Discovered that nvi is pretty basic and installed vim. Created a .vimrc and
allworks well when I edit files.
Doesn't work in mutt though. I guess that mutt is still using nvi so better
read man mutt on how to change this.
Thanks for the advice.

Here's how I do it (it's not the only way):
mkdir newdir
cd olddir
find . -depth -print | cpio -pdmv newdir
This should replicate the whole tree with permissions and symlinks
intact. You have to do it as root, of course, to get ownweships to
replicate.

I need to use 3.3.6 b/c of my video card, and only 3.2.11 version is
avaibliel for slink that I use. I dont want to upgrade to potato right
now, until I can get a CD. I don't think I could install 3.3.6 from
potato b/c of the dependencies, unless I upgrade the systemam I wrong
on that?

I'm wondering if anyone knows of work being done to make sysvinit
capable of logging the output of the rc scripts? HP-UX does this very
nicely, such that instead of seeing what the script writes on stdout
you get a curses-style table of scripts and their results, e.g.
Starting NIS server

Thanks for the tip but too late as I've installed vim. It seems just
like nvi so much so that I think all versions of vi are the same to
someone like me who just edits config files and emails.

Hi all,
When installing on my laptop, after the network setup I was asked
which interface and selected PCMCIA not ethernet.
The PCMCIA card appears to be working OK but when I run ifconfig I
get eth0 unknown interface errors.
Did I make the wrong selection during the setup? Can it be corrected
