Hello All,
I know this might be a stupid question, but can I read Mutt mail/folders
with Mozilla? The only import option is for Netscape 4 :( but is there
a plugin perhaps - I fancy using nice graphics instead of command-line
for a bit.
Thanks,

You will get a lot of replies telling you about using lilo or grub.
For some reason nobody ever recommends using LOADLIN.EXE. I think they
think it's ideologically unsound. I think it's cool. If it's so
unsound, why is it on my Debian install CD? :-)
I triple-boot Windoze 98, DOS 6.22 and Linux.

What exactly do you mean by a "boot floppy", and how does it "fail"?
My "boot floppy" is made from resc1440

It is a bit off-putting, the way the "execute a shell" option hides

Can anyone tell me how to view the bootup screen, it goes by so fast
I can use dmesg to view the kernel boot
I seem to have loads of error messages after the kernel boots
I have checked /var/log/... no go
Somewhere about when fstab is mounted
any ideas ?

You might want to reconsider the project, frankly - why not make different
root passwords for different machines? That would seem to be a more secure
alternative. You can make them systematically different to save yourself
memorizing them all, by (for example) using the second letter of the
hostnam

Some places on the net and in my local docs mention a CARDLIST file, that I'm supposed
to check
for the card= option for bttv.
On my Debian Woody system, a file of that name is nowhere. Is there a place on the net
where that
file can be found?
Also, I'm getting more confused about /etc/modules

Hopefully, you're using ssh on all your machines. If so (and if you're
set up to use public keys for authentication, instead of passwords) you
could do something like:
#/bin/sh
servers="server1 server2 server3 server4";
for server in $servers; do
ssh $server passwd root $1;
done;
