I forgot one thing, but this shouldn't impact it if your essid name showed up. If you're in America wi-fi needs to be running on 5.0 band and not 2.4 band now. That was an F.C.C. ruling. On Tue, 23 Jul 2019, dhof...@att.net wrote: > Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2019 16:03:18 > From: dhof...@att.net > To:

Wow! Thanks. As I said in an earlier message, I dodged the bullet this time in that I should be able to protect the old development system with a chroot jail. The assembler and debugger/emulator that won't make in newer versions of debian should still work and, assuming I can get a serial port t

Thanks very much. I suspected that but it looks like I don't have to make a duel-boot system afterall. Someone on the debian list suggested I use a chroot jail to encapsulate the old distribution which, in this case, should solve the problem I was trying to solve in the first place. If i

Hello Martin, I absolutely hate what I call "press and pray" in which the silent world prevails and you count button presses in the silence and hope and pray that nothing weird happens. GRUB can't be made to talk, but it can play songs using its play command. So you can have it play a different

I installed Debian `10 Buster 32 bit to an older desktop which has no wifi card so I use a USB wifi adapter from ThinkPenguin.com. The specifications state it is compatible with Debian 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 and many other distros. It installed flawlessly using the netinstall iso and that USB wifi adap
