dear all,
i'm trying to resolve a "conf.modules is newer than /lib/modules/foo/foo.dep"
problem.
i thought that depmod -a would rewrite /lib/modules/foo/foo.dep. in fact,
that's what i thought the whole point of depmod -a was.
apparently, depmod isn't writing this file, and the error message is
good enough. /dev/cdrom points to /dev/scd0, which is owned by root.audio.
and all my real users are members of audio.

X 4.0 does NOT need a truetype font server to display true type fonts.

i keep a global bookmark.html in /usr/local/share/users/bookmark.html, and
make symbolic links from within $HOME/.netscape, so all incarnations of me
