ppp problem

Hi all, I've recently upgraded to slink from hamm and now I'm having a problem with ppp. The networking works much better than hamm which is good and I've configured my ISP's using pppconfig and before so I assumed everything was. I can use Netscape just fine, and lynx mostly works. My

Hallo all, I've just installed slink on my laptop and I'm trying to use the ALSA. Do you need to do any special configureation for ALSA? I've just got a vanilla system and a custom kernel ( still 2.0.36 though) and ALSA just doesn't work. I don't appear to have a /proc/asound directory and

Hallo all, I've just installed the postgres stuff ok, but I thought I'd check out a thought before I upset something. I understand that user 'postgres' is the dba for postgres. It is user postgres who adds and deletes users and databases. Is it safe to change the password for user postgres?

Hallo all, Whenever I try to run dselect I'm getting a message that says No access methods available. It's a brand new installation on a 486DX2-50. The only problem was that I had bad inodes on the /usr partition. So I need to know has this affected dselect and how do I fix it? Where are the
