   Setting the kernel up to handle the Gravis card looks simple, but how

   Any advice would be greatly apprecited.

At the moment there isnt any Gravis Pnp support in the linux kernel. You
have to alternatives:

1. Purchase the commercial version of OSS which has Gravis Pnp
support.

or

2. Grab the third party Linux Ultrasound driver which supports 8
gravis cards including the PnP's..
Check out http://www.pf.jcu.cz/~perex/ultra

Note: I use this driver and havent had many problems.. The driver
is still being developed and there is a mailing list ..etc

I would recommend option 2!

Q: re: dpkg-ftp

1996-12-19 Thread Anthony Thompson

Im a recent convert from slackware to Debian1.2 (well in the process of 
install it).

Away im having a problem getting the ppp link up and running. Im able to 
establish the ppp connection ok. I check it using the ifconfig command 
and i see that i have a ppp connection to my ISP.
The problem is that if attempt to run ftp (standalone) to test the link i 
receive 'host lookup failure'.

Now i have had no problems previously with slackware getting ppp 
connection setup.. What have i done wrong?

Ive checked my resolv.conf and it is the same as my old slackware config..

thanks

 Do you have defaultroute set in the /etc/ppp/options file?  This caused me
 some headaches one time.

You were right I didnt think to look at the ppp options.. I assumed 
because slackware setup the defaults that Debian would too.. (it doesnt)..

Dpkg-ftp is now working..

Thanks for the useful tip... I will have to stop making rash assumptions 
in the future...

Thanks
