Hi and kudos to all Linuxers!
I have few questions regarding Linux and lots of thanks
for it (system). 
1) Why can't I use *effectivelly* setterm as regular user?
I've set it suid!
2) (did ask it before but no answer...) Why does (re)nice
in top seem to work au reverse (ie renicing the process
-19 seemes to speed it up, +14 slows it a lot)
3)What do the options to fsck mean? I couldn't find a man
page for it and one on *this* (university) system is
inapropiate.
 My system is 0.96cpl2 with new setterm and ps-0.96c1
 package.

 Once again thanks!
