Get the 6 disk-images from your local debian mirror, e.g. ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/*.bin They are 1.4MB each and get burnt to disk by cp file.bin /dev/fd0 or dd if=file.bin of=/dev/fd0 or using the dos/windows program rawrite.exe. smack the one that got rescue.bin into drive A:, reboot, and there you go. -- Johannes Franken Professional unix/network development mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jfranken.de/

None, for port 139 is not among. I'd recommend you - setup a windows machine (call it "printsrv") which can access the printer (eg. via LPR protocol on port 515) - install the drivers for several OS', so clients can autoinstall - share it's printer to the other clients. Thus it will be addressed by as \\PRINTSRV\LASER1. But this is not debian specific anyway. -- Johannes Franken Professional unix/network development mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jfranken.de/

What could be my problem Don't be too sure about that. it could be a media error, just in middle of the kernel.tgz . Can you spot any syslog messages? have a cat on /var/log/messages, dmesg and switch to the debugging console (on alt-f4 iirc). It's easy to have the CD tested: switch to a shell console, cp /dev/cdrom /dev/null and watch for error messages.

[jfranken@jfranken.de: Re: find]
Tom,
sorry for the typo. should be
echo echo -n \> \$1 > /tmp/truncate &&
find /var/log -type f -exec sh /tmp/truncate {} \;
another way to do it would be
find /var/log -type -f -exec cp /dev/null {} \;

You're right. What about

find /var/log -type f -exec sh /tmp/truncate {} \;

That's proper behavior.
The "> {}" goes to your shell (creating that file), so the arguments
left for find are: "/var/log -type f -exec echo -n"
(yet another implementation of the NOP command).
Try
echo >/tmp/blankfile && find /var/log -type f -exec cp /tmp/blankfile {} \;
instead.
