Hello Tony, Please excuse the intrusion, but I came across your name while skimming through a Debian listserv.. I am in the process of setting a up a Debian 2.2 (Potato) on a PIA box.
I was able to successfully ping the outside world via my firewall, and was also able to use a text browser (lynx) to navigate the web. However, I can't seem to be able to browse using Netscape. So as a remedy, I manually inserted some pertinent info in /etc/init.d/network. I also setup /etc/modules to include an alias for my NIC driver(dmfe.o). The idea is to have the kernel load the correct module for the NIC. After restarting 'inetd' and recognizing that I still couldn't see the outside world using Netscape, I decided to reboot. Unfortunately, the kernel can't find any of the modules listed in /etc/modules. Hence, the system won't complete the start up sequence.. Additonally, the machine doesn't have a floppy drive. Is there anyway that I can boot into single user mode and fix the problem? Are there some hot-keys that I can employ? I have an old Debian 2.0 CD that I could use as a boot kernel. I suspect that one of the start up scripts has bogus info in it. Thanks in advance... -- Alfred
