How do I set my internet up?
I have comcast. I have a wireless router hooked up too. During installation, it was not able to autoconfigure with dhcp (it did the first 2 times I installed it awhile back). I thought it was a bad ethernet cable because the light on my router wasn't on indicating that there was a cable plugged into the corresponding ethernet port on the router. However, I switched the two cables around, the wireless still works. I also tried a third cable. I'm guessing it's something with my computer.. Should I be using a dhcp with comcast? (I don't know what dhcp is really) How would I figure out what the problem is? __ Sent from Yahoo! Mail. A Smarter Email http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html

How would I add an OS to grub?
I apologize for this really having nothing to do with debian, but I do not know of another place with people as smart as you. I tried to install NetBSD (despite all the talk about OpenBSD, sorry). It was complicated because I do not know much about computers, and there were a lot of differences from the debian installation. I'm pretty sure I have a working version of NetBSD though, but it is not listed on the grub bootloader. I did not choose to install NetBSD's boot select or anything like that. I just want to know how to add NetBSD to grub. If there is any technical information I need to edit grub.conf or whatever, you will have to explain to me how to get it because I will not know (such as the space on the hard drive hd0,1 and stuff like that... I don't know). I'd appreciate the help, thanks guys. - Sent from Yahoo! Mail. A Smarter Email.
Re: How would I get debian unstable?
Hi, I'm the one who asked about getting unstable and the different distributions compared to debian. I have a few more questions, sorry. First question: How would I reply correctly so that my reply is still in the same topic? Someone mentioned something about apt-get upgrade causing locked packages that won't get upgraded or something... thats the kind of stuff I want to learn. How would I learn about how debian works and how to configure it all? All I have been doing so far is just googling the problems I have run into, but I'm not really learning anything. Also, when you guys say SUSe do you mean openSuSE? Because I would like to try it out, but the only one I could find out how to download was openSuSE. Last question(s), is there a unix one I could get for free? Are they similar to linux? What are the differences?

More better is "aptitude"... only "apt-get upgrade" may cause a lot of locked packages not upgrade automagically and the system became too much hybrid... -- Sythos - http://www.sythos.net () ASCII Ribbon Campaign - against html/rtf/vCard in mail /\- against M$ attachments This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

How would I get debian unstable?
I'd like to use debian unstable, but I do not know how to get it. If someone could direct me to a site that has the steps set out or type the steps or something it would be much appreciated. I have the image for debian testing from about a month or two ago (it's lenny), can I use testing to get to unstable? Also, why did you people choose to use debian? Is it just better than other distributions? It seems like you people are elite linux users, and I just wanted to the differences between debian and some other distributions. I haven't tried many, but to me they would all seem the same (I'm new). - Sent from Yahoo! Mail. A Smarter Email.
