Well that's a good question! I must have found
it a few months ago and can't remember where
it came from. I can't even find the pet I used but

musher0 and Terryphi, thank you both for your replies.

At home when using dial-up the browser I like to use
is Dillo. Therefore I like altering the hosts file so Dillo
doesn't waste time downloading unnecessary stuff.

"ln -s /usr/bin/mpg123.bin /usr/bin/mpg123 " - done.

Cool, now "# mpg123 -vC SM183_Barrels.mp3" works.

Awww Nuts! I forgot about the possibility of there might be
.deb packages for mpg123. Because mpg123 is "old" I thought I'd
just install an old .pet package and it should work fine.

I installed these two packages:

mpg123_1.12.1-3_i386.deb
libmpg123-0_1.12.1-3_i386.deb

"Download devx sfs and load it." -Done
"install this (libc-bin_2.11.3-4_i386.deb) then run ldconfig" -Done

No difference, mpg123 didn't work and gave identical messages.

Rebooted and tried mpg123 again just in case something changed
but no luck.

Thank you Semme for your reply.

Using a search engine I never found that page.

It seems that ldconfig is important to the solution:

"You could use ldconfig from root to update the dynamic linker bindings.

I don't use gmail so I am just guessing here.
Have you tried adding this line to cookiesrc?:

mail.google.com. ACCEPT

If that doesn't work consider adding this line as well:

google.com ACCEPT

I don't see any problem if I understand what I read. The update program/script
creates an updated iso on your hard drive. It's not automatically using your
CD-RW that you've booted up. See the following quoted section from the

As for your instructions for r-anagram you were spot on. The game worked
for me by just "commenting out line 7". That's great thank you very much.
