Any chance you could make your mailer wrap lines every 72 chars or so?
We'd appreciate it.

Are you using "startx" to get to a GUI desktop?  Run

  switchdesk

First verify that it is listening:

  netstat -lpn | fgrep 10000

You should get something like

tcp   0    0 0.0.0.0:10000     0.0.0.0:*      LISTEN      2100/perl           
udp   0    0 0.0.0.0:10000     0.0.0.0:*                  2100/perl           

If not, your webmin is not running or configured correctly.  If so,
you may have a firewall blocking you.  Go to firewall configuration
and open up port 10000.  See also

Use the vnc and vnc-server packages.

You will have to show us your /etc/lilo.conf to help you.  You did run
"lilo" after changing /etc/lilo.conf, didn't you?
