When issuing a telinit command to change runlevel (from 2 to 4, for

what neither of them is usable by default?
YA.

I'm surprised neither of them work. The linux console is set up to

It's interesting that people are having problems now with Motif apps,
because suddenly, my problems with Motif apps have been magically solved.
That is, the backspace key now works correctly for both Motif and

I just installed the beta debian 1.1, over a very old Slackware
system (I'm going to update a debian 0.96 system soon, using
floppies no less).
I used .deb files that I had ftp'ed on April 26, but the
boot,root,base disks I freshly ftp'ed.
It went very smoothly.
