Hello
Disaster has struck and I need some help.
I was experimenting with hdparm for the first time and
managed to freeze my system - I was in X at the time.
I was unable to get back to the console - tried ^alt-backspace,
and ^alt-f1... no joy.
In the end I had to just switched off the machine.
I do believe that your mouse should be symbolically linked
to /dev/psaux and not /dev/ttyS0 or any sort of ttyS 'if' it
is a ps/2 mouse that you are using.
It is quite safe to delete mouse and relink mouse to /dev/psaux.
That is...
cd /dev
rm mouse
ln -s psaux mouse
The 's' switch

I'm no expert but I was just a little curious about the commands
that you recommended.
1. The r switch is needed with the rm command when you wish to remove
a directory and all it's contents. Jay only needs

I no expert but don't you have to enable ip forwarding
in the kernel first by executing the following:

ip masquerading. There a good article on this in the

Thanks for the reply.
I have infact installed exim and have configured /etc/exim.conf, though
whether it's configured properly is another matter.
Is it possible that something in the exim.conf is incorrectly configured
or that whatever program is responsible for strating exim is not being
I am trying to configure my Linux box to send and receive
mail using:

I was wondering if anyone knows of a site to
which I can point apt and download a newer

Ethan you were partially correct in your reply.
When I comment out the if structure that tests for the
existence of .bashrc, and 'sources' it if it does exist,
there are no problems. That is, I can source the file
without any problems.
However the problem seems still to be elsewhere.

I do not have mc installed. I used the -x switch on the f
ile (od -x .profile, this also allows files to be viewed
in hex).
I didn't see anything suspicious. Does anyone have any
other ideas?
If I was to install midnight commander what instruction
would I have to give to view files in hex?
I was using my computer, and logged in as root
using su and I started getting the following
irritating message.
'bash: /root/.profile: line 11: syntax error: unexpected end of file'
I have no idea why this started to appear. I
