The Cardbus itself is working (I have verified this by looking at /var/log/syslog when inserting the card). I am aware that I need to install the 8139too module, however, I'm completely unsure on how to do this. Two ways kernel modules can be installed (or inserted into the running kernel) using the (1) modprobe or (2)modconf commands. (1) % modprobe 8139too You can make sure that the 8139too module is installed each time you boot by adding the the string 8139too to the file /etc/modules. Just open up /etc/modules in your favourite editor, or type the following on the command line % echo 8139too /etc/modules (2) % modconf and then navigate through the menus to find 8139too (should be in kernel/drivers/net). If you use this method to install a module, modconf will automatically append it to /etc/modules, to ensure it is loaded each time you boot. Anyhelp or advice would be much appreciated.

Re: 2 questions from debian noob
Hi, * Timmy P. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [040128 10:15]: hello, i was wondering if yall could tell me why the network install for debian does not support Internal PCI cards. It does. Why do you think otherwise? What card do you need it to support? I do not have a laptop, and can not spare 7 cds to install the os that i have heard so much good about. You don't need them anyway. You should be able to get your NIC working with the net install cd. I do plan on buying the cd set...but i wanted to make sure it worked with my hardware, and i liked it myself, before i buy it. Ahh, don't bother buying them. Once you have your NIC working you can just download and install the packages you want painlessly using apt-get. My other question, does debian work with AMD processors? I believe they are intell compatible, but i can't find them mentioned on the debian site...so i figured i would ask the list. Yes, see http://www.debian.org/ports/ The AMD processors are basically same as the Intel. Just use the i386 binaries.

I'm not sure about the details of network install, but you shouldn't need 7 CDs to install debian. One will do to get you up and running, and then you can pull whatever packages you need over the net. Also, I'm suspicious about this no Internal PCI cards business. Where is this stated? I do plan on buying the cd set...but i wanted to make sure it worked with my hardware, and i liked it myself, before i buy it. If money is such an issue and you have some bandwidth, there's no need for you to buy the CDs. Just download them. My other question, does debian work with AMD processors?

UDF writing to CD-r/CD-RW - where is pktdvd0 etc?
Any body know how to use udftools with 2.6 kernels? Do I need them or is udf writing native to 2.6? If I need udftools then where is this packet device that pktsetup is looking for? I can seem to find the right menu item in the make menuconfig. to build the kernel with this device. Please help. Ramesh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Email client programs
I know this is not a windows list and I have never yet asked a question like this on here before, but perhaps there is someone who knows the answer to this question. Because our vessels have to get mail over lines that are rather shaky, we would like them to pull mail in a way whereby once they've received a message it is considered downloaded. Earlier we were using ccMail (Lotus) which did just that. But now we had them switch over to Outlook Express. In the case of Outlook Express, however, let's say they received 3 letters and then the line broke. Well, when they reconnect they would have to get those 3 letters again, prior to going on and getting the rest. Maybe this is just the way POP3 works. Or is there a mail client program that acts otherwise? i.e., Mozilla, etc.? Curtis Vaughan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Install the lsof package if you don't have it. Try: lsof /dev/sr1 Tt should give you a clue as to what is opening the device, you may have to run it as lsof -r /dev/sr1 over a minute or more if the process only opens /dev/sr1 every now and then.

Re: Email client programs
But doesn't IMAP have more traffic involved than POP3? I mean each time you connect, it has to check to see what's on the server and what's on your computer. What would be best is a solution that just says, I don't care what you have or don't have, here are some new messages. Take them. And once the client has received a message it is marked as received on the server.

PDC20269 Busy primary channel problem
I'm having a really odd problem with a PDC20269. The primary channel, no
matter what, will also report the drives on it as busy. I've tried
kernel versions 2.6.1, 2.6.2-rc2, and 2.4.24 and the same problem
occurs. The Promise card detects the drives with no problem. The card
has been swapped out, the cables have been switched, the drives have
been changed, and none of this has any effect at all. I'm running debian
testing/unstable.
If there are drives on the primary channel, I run into errors such as
the following:
hdj: set_drive_speed_status: status=0xff { Busy }
hdi: max request size: 128KiB
hdi: status timeout: status=0xff { Busy }
I'm really quite lost as to what the problem may be. I've tried so many
different things I don't know what else to do besides not use the
primary chain.
I've attached my lspci -v ; my dmesg ; and my kernel .config (2.6.2-rc2)
Thanks,
Mike Garrison
