This is to let the world know that skeeve is once again up and running.
I had to put in a new hard disk, which set me back some. However, I now
have a full 67 Meg, instead of my original 40, which is really nice. It
also seems to be a faster drive than the old one. If looney!cmv ever gets
to post the info on using the whole disk, I'll have 80 Meg....
I was lucky enough to have a backup that was only about 2 or 3 weeks old
when skeeve died, so I did not lose a whole lot of work.
Anyway, I have upgraded to News 2.11.14. The news source and rn source
are available once again for "anonymous" uucp from skeeve:
phone: +1 404 633 1813
login: getnews
password: getnews
Files are in /usr/spool/uucppublic:
-rw-r--r-- 1 news users 224077 Dec 19 20:43 rn.cpio.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67563 Dec 18 15:33 smail.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 news users 262819 Dec 19 22:54 src.cpio.Z
Smail.Z is the latest version of smail, for those who are interested.
I'll be posting the latest news patches in unix-pc.sources.
Anyway, I'm really glad to have my machine back in shape, and to be
back on the network.
