If I remember correctly from the kernel sources, this is a module used to deal with different code pages (i.e. handling different character sets). You can prevent modprobe from trying to load it by commenting out the appropriate line from /etc/modules.conf > 2) Also when i boot up how do i disable a nfs and lpd service from > starting automatically? Provided nfs is a user space daemon and not one built into the kernel -- change the symlinks in your /etc/rc2.d directory to stop these services instead of starting them. This is accomplished by changing the symlink from S* to K*. For example to stop the lp service, move /etc/rc2.d/S20lpd (or whatever it's called on your system) to /etc/rc2.d/K20lpd Simlarly, to stop NFS, move /etc/rc2.d/S20nfs-server (again, if that's what it's called on your system) to /etc/rc2.d/K20nfs-server > 3) I just installed console-apt, what are the differences between > console-apt and dselect (which one should i use?) Not sure what the exact differences are. Personally I prefer apt over dselect unless I'm not sure exactly what package(s) I'm looking for. In my experience, apt does a better job of checking for dependency problems. Hope this help, Cheng
