But, There are many questions. I wento the FAQ to get disk ?'s answered but only gener- ated more ?'s that were more difficult to answer. My hope is to find a generous soul that is a higher level resource than I, to ask questions of. I have 20+ years in a Unix environment prior to being retired. Therefore I look for- ward to being able to operate and expand the environment I was so comfortable with. Is a contact list something that is supported? My objective is to increase the size of my hard drive to >5MB and install Debian linux and W95 on the same system. I noticed Corel is going to release a complete install and boot software pkg. before 1/1/2K. My hope is that someone can get me over the hurdle with Debian by that approx. time frame. If someone can respond the following ?'s are those I would ask: o How can you tell if your system can support an ultra DMA-66 hard drive? o Can I install Debian as the primary OS from the release 2.1 CD then install W95? Or is another OS presumed to install from that CD? All responses can be directed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; thanks in advance to any and all respondents. --- End Message --- pgpNTJ5tyejXu.pgp Description: PGP signature

I installed Debian GNU/ Linux 2.1 using floppy images downloaded from the internet. - My system is Dual pentium 200 Mhz, 3Com 3C905, NE2000 ( linksys- isa), Diamond Firport HP C310 SCSI-2 , with 96 Meg ram, Acer CD-ROM - Install worked great and when I boot up I get eth0 (3Com) and eth1 (ne2000), all modules loaded perfectly no erroneous messages on boot - However no SMP support and driver for the 3Com card does not work correct (messages in /var/log/syslog problems with irq) - DHCPD client daemon started ( I want to use a cable modem) no inet address from ifconfig -a for eth1. 2.) I recompile my kernel using "make-kpkg" and kernel-source-2.0.36 - make menuconfig - make dep - make-kpkg clean - make-kpkg --revision=smp700 kernel-image - make-kpkg --revision=smp700 modules-image - cd.. - dpkg --install kernel-source-2.0.36_smp700_i386.deb - here I have to mv /lib/modules/2.0.36 to /lib/modules/2.0.36.old - then I get prompted to make a boot floppy since I cannot boot from my scsi (bios does not see it) I attempt it - use your current /etc/lilo.conf? I say yes - error testing lilo.confetc - re execute dpkg --install kernel-source-2.0.36_smp700_i386.deb - create boot floppy and new lilo.conf 3.) When I reboot I lose my eth1 (NE2000) and get multiple messages such as cannot find module ne.etc - SMP works great, no eth1, eth0 works just fine( 3C905), dhcpcd has problems great (no interface..attached to eth1) - If i try to boot off an old floppy (not created by compile) I still get the same messages but with no SMP support. I believe something about the way I compiled my kernel is causing me problems. However I selected "Loaded modules support" and the drivers required for both ethernet cards. i.e. 3c59x and ne. What can I do to get both ethernet cards working and all modules loaded at boot time and still keep my SMP support? and help is greatly appreciated.Thank You! --- End Message --- pgp2kNXtO27p4.pgp Description: PGP signature

Mostly when we (Joey and me) unsubscribe manually, we get the person from all the lists. If smartlist does it by itself, it does it list-per-list. But I won't make the software less sensitive - there are enough bounces per day we receive...

/etc/passwd and /etc/groups not consistent?
Hi, I installed yesterday debian1.1 via NFS on a brand new computer. I used dselect and tried now dpkg. I installed also postgres95 with dpkg. This was the only program I installed which said that it would change the /etc/passwd or /etc/group. Now I installed majordomo-1.94 by hand and discovered, that the user majordom should have UID 30 and GID 30 (in /etc/passwd), but the GID changed to 31; on GID 30 was dip. Same was with the user postgres for postgres95: he should have UID31 and GID 31, but he had GID 32. This only was in /etc/group, the data in /etc/passwd linked to the same ID as to UID, so postgres would have had the group majordomo (well - both uses databases :-) Any Ideas what went wrong?
