So I can't use ssh nor scp, much less send myself an email with that machine and read/forward it with this one -- let alone use my newsreader with it. I can try to hand-copy, reading one monitor and typing into another. (The problem machine has its own peripherals; it's not behind the KVM switch with my others.) But it's apt to be less than accurate. I've been trying to put the eth-messages.txt onto a floppy or a cd, and read that with this machine; but I can't seem to follow my antiquated nose to a place hwere I can do either. > grep eth /var/log/messages > eth-messages.txt > > Then send that eth-messages.txt to me.
