First off, thanks for your interest in this problem, the laptop i am using
is a toshiba 320CDT with 32M of memory, a Pentium P200MMX, a custom kernel,
and no ethernet cards/SCSI/USB/PCMCIA devices.
Here is the configuration file (the name is suitably appropriate), i think
there is stuff in here that isn't really required as you can see from the
messages extract. Any ideas about the invalid command/syntax type messages ?
thanks
andrew dennis.
