[Techtalk] ftpd not running, console size issue

It let me login as myself (so far I've only tried this on one computer,
ftping to localhost), though those lines are in ftpaccess.  Should I still
comment them out anyway?

*nod*  When I upgraded to 7.2, it turned off the sound from my CD player,
so I had to fiddle with all sorts of things until it came back on.  It
also turned off the 'print as postscript' setting, completely unbeknownst
to me, so when I printed a paper and it came out as boxes and assorted
garbage, I was thoroughly confused.  But I fixed it.

Thanks!  Your recommendations and web page are very helpful :)  Still
getting used to the mini keyboard, though.

How different is grub from lilo?  There's a line 'title', followed by
root, kernel, and initrd.  Are those the ones to copy?  (It also indicated
that I don't need to rerun grub after changing grub.conf.  Interesting.)
Then if the test works, I just add that line to the other one?
