I tried editing the /etc/modutils/arch/m68k.mac file with no effect.  I
also did what the modules.conf file said not to do and tried editing that,
again no luck.  It is, of course, possible I have commented out the wrong
line.

Moving the /dev/ttyS* files out of the /dev directory seems to do the
trick.  It doesn't feel right but it works.  If anybody wants to point out
the error of my ways please do so.

So far Potato , at least on my machine, is very stable not one crash
despite my attempts to abuse it.  I shall be installing packages this
weekend :-)
