pausing
I have 3 machines that are Intel Pentium 2 machines, one is a dual processor and the others are not. However these machines have a real annoying pause, it lasts from 2- 15 seconds and happens quite a bit. This is real annoying, anyone know what could be causing this ? The dual has it the worst ASUS Dual Pentium 2MB 256M ram 6G ide harddrive Kingston nic with 2114x chip running the tulip driver pci video (mail server never runs anything but 80x25 serving around 5000 email accounts. Any help greatly appreciated.

What is the proper way
I was about to recompile the kernel to add support for the soundblaster 16 and wondered should I remove any modules and rebuild them even though I am only adding one module ? Can I run make modules only ? Or do I have to do make dep;make clean;make zImage;make modules;make modules_install ?

Re: dselect replacement project (deity)
Ok here goes, I looked at the list of stuff available for debian and I thought I knew a thing or too about Linux until I ordered this debian cdrom. I run an ISP and a Linux user group. However I just cannot seem to get debian's dselect correctly. I get through the conflict resolution and then after installing the packages I get more conflicts. I think that there are several problems 1. The interface is a problem too complicated, I am having trouble (I have been running linux since pre 0.99. 2. Once the conflicts have been resolved, they should be resolved and should not come up again. 3. Do not through out the idea of haveing different modes, 1 for experts 2 for beginers etc. (at least kick it around) 4 A easier way to force an install that you know will not conflict. 5 Make it friendly to new people with less experience. Even if you need to get the janitor to install it to see if it is too complicated. I WANT TO MAKE THIS NEXT POINT VERY CLEAR I am not trying to wine or complain, I realy think that these things need to be addressed. Remember the last time you got bored with that nascar race on TV, They go round and round the same time each lap, it was boring. It takes a pro to make it look that easy!! I want to thank everyone on the deity team in advance. I wish I could be on it. But I am not enough of an expert programmer yet.

Re: newbie nerd
Lets say there was this guy building a 486 computer for a church intranet and he wanted to run Linux. Would he : A)JUST LOAD LINUX OR: What are you going to us this machine for ? If you are going to use it for a web server for the intranet, just load linux. If you have some other purpose in mind just load linux, unless you need to run some special dos apps investigate dosemu... can a soldered CPU be unsoldered by a proand upgraded to lets say a 586 or higher? This guy has no clue what is going on. This is a bad idea. The pentium chip needs a collection of support chips call a chip set and they are different than the 486 chip set. There is also the memory width problem. The memory bus of the 486 is 32bit the pentium is 64. Buy a new motherboard.
Re: dselect replacement project (deity)y
The comments about having to run configure over and over, does this apply to the cdrom as well ? I have a T! at work, so if there is another way to install that would be better let me know. --Jeff On Sat, 12 Apr 1997, Rick wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Sorry. I should have been specific.

The answer at this point is to run configure over and over. Each time it will install something that is needed to settle the conflicts. The problem is that the selected files aren't in dependant order. Hopefully the new project will address this problem. Note that RedHat gets this right, at least on the initial install. They prompt for groups of programs that generally would be chosen together and hide the ugly details unless you ask to pick individual items. It may be nice to individually pick every file on a unix distribution but most people have better things to do. These days you probably can't buy a disk that is too small to hold a fairly complete installation. Okay, apparently Debian also has no problem doing this, BUT if you do an ftp install it will fail because of a bug in dpkg-ftp, Bug#8660 actually. If you use a cdrom or some other mounted media it will be able to correctly identify the package order and install accordingly. If not then please tell me now!

Re: What is the typical response from i-Connect?
I ordered the cdrom from cheapbytes and I made the disks and installed the floppies (this is kinda dumb, why not install off of the cdrom?) but I have not figured out how to get dselect to work. So at this point all I got off of the cd is the disks. Is this normal ? If I must use dpkg, where can I find docs for it. I am a beginner with debian but not Linux. --Jeff On Mon, 10 Mar 1997, Pete Harlan wrote: YMMV I eagerly ordered the Debian CD from i-Connect last weekend, but after a couple of email inquiries, I have not heard a word from them.
