Re: Debian 1.3 Release FAQ - Preliminary
Ah, I have just over 150MB, this is not even all of the binaries and none of the source. [EMAIL PROTECTED] A real FAQ: how do I install Debian using FTP *and* PPP? Stress the fact that this means downloading 50-100 MB, depending on configuration.

Re: Debian as a server.
I would just like to say that it is not mythology. First PC's have long borrowed there technologies from the more mature systems that had been around ( the main/mini/ and super computer enviorns) those systems usualy ran some kind of unice, when it becomes cheap enough to mass produce the high end hardware, we all recieve it, such that we all moved to 32 bit technology with the 386, way back when, but the super/main/mini computers had been 32 bits all along. To make my point more clear solaris is plug and play, and it works. someday we will enjoy this on the intel platform or whatever is the mass production computer at that time, maybe PPC? maybe not, but I think we should just be glad we can run Linux on our cheap and crappy pc's, because we can't afford the cool stuff. ( i.e. real-plug and play, fault tollerent, gas and battery backup, raid, clusters.) but we most likely don not need that kind of computing power for our unices, that we use as desktop os replacements. I for one count myself lucky that I can run the os of my choice on widely available cheap hardware. yes, I do hate MS. dennisg Craig Sanders wrote: On Tue, 13 May 1997, George Bonser wrote: Debian is not point and click or plug and play but then again, neither are the operating systems that claim to be, really. and that's the truth.

Re: problem with pcmmdl20.deb!! incorrect dependencies?
Nico De Ranter wrote: Howdy, I'm trying to reinstall Debian on my Toshiba Portable using a mirror on one of our network servers. To do this I need PCMCIA facilities since my networkadaptor is a PCMCIA card. What I did is: * I first installed the base system using the regular set of disks I created. * rebooted the computer * I copied the pcmciacs.deb, pcmmdl20.deb, pcmsorc.deb and pcmmdl2z.deb packages to a floppy and tried to install them using: dpkg -i pcmciacs.deb dpkg -i pcmmdl20.deb dpkg -i pcmsorc.deb (not really necessary I gues, but I did it anyway) THIS USED TO WORK, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work anymore? When I install the pcmmdl20.dev package, dpkg complains about a missing prerequisit kernel-image-2.0.27 Index of /pub/mirrors/debian/frozen/binary-i386/base Name Last modified Size Description kernel-image-2.0.27_2..20-Mar-97 05:51 1M kernel-image-2.0.29_4..26-Mar-97 23:13 1M kernel-image-2.0.30_2..22-Apr-97 05:00 2M Now that is funny because I had the same problem, and I notice that it is in the 'base' section of the ftp site of bo/frozen/1.3, however it was not installed by my base disks either, or at least the package was not providing the dependency fufillment? a bug I suppose. although that's exactly the kernel that is installed. I even tried copying the krnimg20.deb package and installing it but this does NOT make any difference. dpkg keeps complaining that the package is missing. I also noticed that it unpacked it but didn't install it as a result of this. so I used dpkg --force-dependency pcmcia-modules-x.deb; now it is installed anyway. I guess you didn't do this because When I reboot my computer the I get complaints from cardmgr about incorrect values in System.map (I don't remember the exact message, but it's the same message you get when you recompile the kernel and forget to recompile the modules). now my problem was that everthing worked but ifconfig and route add were not run automagicaly :( can anybody help me? Any help would be greatly appreciated, hope I helped you. thanks in advance, Nico. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
