Dear Ira,

1) First, let me thank you for your letter.
Although it seemed at first to be a disasterous error in the file
system,
after carefully reading the man pages for fsck (and some black magic),
all is well again. It seems that some disrupted netscape cache files are
to blame.

2) Who sells Red-Hat4.1 in Israel? I saw in the www.linux.org.il that
you are selling older copies.

Thanks!!!
