"paride" is for an IDE adapter connected to the parallel port, if I remember correctly. And XT is the old pre-IDE adapter used back in the days when 8086 and 80286 were common and 386's were around but rare, and expensive (I may be a bit off on my timeline, but it's OLD technology and VERY rare these days). So, unless you have a really old system, you won't need them. I do believe the IDE support is built right into the installation kernel so you won't need to load a module for it if you are using IDE disks, which is what you're doing with the menu you're in. It's pretty rare to have to load a block device module during the installation. Gary

At least it is comforting to know that lawmakers, lawyers, etc will be "the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes" (no empire lasts forver...I just hope the current ones don't last much longer) it is so silly to think that someone can, in good faith, try to help people out by compiling information for them, can do this without being asked, for free...and can be sued for it by some ingrateful slime am I the only one who sees the sad irony in that? on a more practical note I have to wonder, are there any cases where someone wrote something like this, and distributed it freely to anyone who wished to have it, for no charge (not necissarilly on the net but preferably) and been sued for bad legal advice? Moreover have any of these disclaimers seen all over the internet on pretty much every document, ever been "tested in court". I ask mostly because courts tend to be very weird in that all of the "legal analysis" in the world really tends to mean jack shit until a real case comes up and it happens in court. I guess keeping that in mind...if this specific case has not been "tested in court" then the person writting it and putting their name on it should be prepared to have to test it (tho personally I doubt it would happen) course...I supose now it might be too late for it to be published anonymously? sigh...is there anything now that is as good as anon.penet.fi used to be a coupla years back?

I tend to just live my life and do what I do, if what I do is "legal" fine...if not...thats fine too...cuz I don't care I care more about moral than legal (as it is I have a web page in my name even with my adress on it, where I openly admit to having done things, some of which are illegal...including drug use, attempts to grow marijuana (been away from that stuff for a while but I left it on the web page even tho I don't do it anymore).

Can you get around this hanging sword above ones head, by expressing ones opinion? You can at least get around to be sued because of offence (or insult), by expressing your opinion: If you say "This boy is an a**hole!", you sure commit an offence.

Access to peripherals, etc., is via "special" files for devices, like /dev/ttyS1 for the second serial port and /dev/hdc for the first IDE or ATAPI device on the second controller. A modem device is a character special file because I/O is generally a character at a time. A disk device is a block special file because I/O is generally in blocks (of e.g. 2 sectors = 1024 bytes). There are good hysterical reasons for this. 2. If the CD is on the first IDA controller it's probably /dev/hdb; on the second it's probably /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd. Use the appropriate device name instead if /dev/cdrom. The Debian-supplied kernel automatically recognises ATAPI CD-ROMs, so type "dmesg | less" to see where it is. If you really want to use /dev/cdrom, do something like "ln -s hdc /dev/cdrom". I also recommend you do a "chgrp cdrom /dev/hdc" so that you can put trusted users into the cdrom group (see the adduser man page) and give them access to the CD-ROM audio with cdplay, workman, etc. > Also - I loaded the packages off the sunsite at imperial college; it turns > out > that the Latex I picked up had a 1 year-old bug in it (\noindent did not work > inside a quote environment).

You could check on http://www.debian.org/ under the Packages link and see what the latest listed version is there. If you've got the latest and it still has the bug, check under the Bug Tracking link to see if it's been reported. If it hasn't been reported, use the "bug" program to do so.

It is a ATAPI drive, you just select IDE/ATAPI driver.

Yes. That is, there's a more up to date jdk package (with a different and to my way of thinking better organization) in hamm, and last I checked Sun wasn't releasing any java stuff for linux - the linux-java things are ported from the Sun reference implementation. This means there is always a delay beyond the normal packaging delay as a new release is first ported to Linux, and then packaged for Debian.

setting up pcmcia - hostname(none)- problem
Hi, There has been a great amount of progress since I have tried to configure my pcmcia card (3c562) thanks to great help I received from people on this list. Thanks ! However, there is still a problem. I get the following errors at boot time: > > hostname: can't open '(null)' > > SIOCSIFADDR: no such device > > SIOCSIFNETMASK: no such device > > SIOCSIFBRADDR: no such device > > SIOCADDRT: network unreachable /etc/hosts is OK, /etc/pcmcia/network.opts too. No error messages in /var/adm/messages, except maybe the following indication : Linux PCMCIA Card Services 2.9.12 Kernel build: 2.0.32 unknown etc. etc. (no errors) loading device 'eth0' ... eth0: 3com 3c562, .. irq, base address, etc Regards, marc -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

This string frequently appears in my auth.log. Does it mean that something wrong with security?
