System: 486, scsi: apt2840, external 4G and 700M disks. cdrom: eide
The debian kernel 2.027 crashes on the aic7xxx controller. I have no problems booting from none debian kernels. What I need is some one to make a boot floppy without! the non eide cdrom stuff. I have tested making kernel with this and only the aic7xxx scsi driver. It boots fine the problem is, its just to complicated to create a debian kernel from redhat is the a reason the rc.d files are located in different locations??? Also through I like the package approach. I wonder why the linux standard includes all the package files in system file locations?? Looking at the dpkg-deb command I don't thing it would be too difficult to drop them into package subdirectories. And from the lists of install packages create an expaned PATH by/for /etc/profile. I believe this could all be done with out changing the packages in anyway. The advantage is more modular packages which are easier to clean up if the install scripts fail. Also packages could be exported more easily without requiring exporting all of /usr which in my oppinion is NOT a good idea. -Tim. -Tim. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
