pdflatex problem
I can give a partial answer to the pdflatex problem: pdflatex uses type 1 outline fonts by default, instead of bitmapped fonts, which is good because it makes the pdf image crystal clear. Whereas the bitmap font info exists for every point size, the outline font info apparently exists only for 5 point, 7 point and 10 point, and the intervening point size are interpolated. amslatex has a style file cmmib57 to solve this problem for one of their fonts, and any other package enabling you to use type 1 fonts should have the same. BTW, pdftex is still alpha software, and my experience is that with complex documents pdflatex has been creating pdf files which the acrobat reader could not read. But for simple documents it works great. Hans Ehrbar -- Hans G. Ehrbar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Economics Department, University of Utah (801) 581 7797 (my office) 1645 E.

Will boot from floppy but not from hard disk
I installed bo on my old 486, and the installation was completely smooth, but I can only boot from the floppy, not from the hard disk. This is the second time that I tried to install it, in my earlier attempt I could not boot from the hard disk either. I suspect the problem may be due to the BIOS settings: a copy is attached here, they are all the default settings except the setting for the Hard Disk type 47 RAM Area which has to be DOS 1KB according to a remark buried somewhere in the LILO documentation. Any suggestions what I should do? Your help is appreciated.

Linux cannot find NE-2000 network card
Thanks to Ossama's and Gilbert's advice, I could fix my problem by adding a line consisting of the string 3c509 to the /etc/modules file. Apparently the install program never wrote this string into the file because I had failed to install a network card altogether when I originally built the base system. I missed this step because the menu did not ask me to do it because it did not auto-detect a network card. When I discovered after my first boot-up that the network connection was missing I went back to the install menu, but did not re-initialize my partitions but mounted the already existing partitions, and then initialized the network device. Since it never asked me to re-build the base system I never did. I had the hardest time reading the floppies and did not want to go through this again. Apparently the install program did not discover the inconsistency between the modules I had currently declared and the modules present in the somewhat older /etc/modules file. Is this a bug, or am I asking too much of the install program? Thank you for your help, Hans. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Linux cannot find NE-2000 network card
Thanks for the quick response, Ossama. I did configure the network and I do have a file /etc/init.d/network which has my IPADDR and NETMASK etc. but I haven't found any files with any of the information about the network card specified during installation.

Linux cannot find NE-2000 network card
I just got through the ordeal of installing debian linux from floppies on an older computer, but linux cannot find my network card. When installing the device drivers, the menu first told me that I did not have any network cards, i.e., there was a - sign in front of the line for my 3C509 card. After selecting the card and typing in the right address and interrupt request io=0x300 irq=3 the installation program seems to have talked to it because it gave me the following message: loading device 'eth0'... eth0: 3c509 at 0x300 tag 1, 10baseT port, address 00 a0 24 e7 06 66, IRQ 3 3c509.c:1.07 6/15/95 [EMAIL PROTECTED] But when I boot the machine it says: Network is unreachable What should I do?
