Thank you for you reply. /tmp is just a link to /arch/tmp/ (/arch is my
local Debian mirror) and the permissions are just as you told above.
It's really strange (BTW, accidentally I have just replaced my K5-PR166
by a K6-233 - but I can't believe that to be a reason for error. I have
a W95 partition (which I really only use to just test wine ;-) and there
seem to be no hardware problems with the Hercules Terminator graphics card.)
Anybody knows where to find the error messages?
