Hello!
I'm attempting to do a fresh Linux install using Debian 1.1.
Unfortunately, when I try to boot up with the disks I made, I
get a "crc error<5>" when I insert the root disk. I have
already tried re-downloading the boot and root disks from
ftp.debian.org and using fresh 1.44 floppies.. but,

I'd like to install the latest Debian on a new SCSI disk (just partitioned).
I already have Linux running from a second SCSI disk. I'd like to avoid
the hassles of boot floppies, etc. as I already have a working Linux
running. (Note: my Linux is kernel 2.0.0, a.out, manually upgraded from

Hi,
I observed what appears to be a very strange problem when using dpkg
to install workbone (I realised that it is now orphaned and is still
aout). If I install workbone again when it is already installed, dpkg
says it is replacing the old package. But after the replacement, the

Hi,
I found a curious bug with jove 4.16, compiled and running on a Debian Lignux

move to the beginning of the line and insert blanks, all is ok. If you
add a ninth char, and insert blanks in the beginning, they get doubled on

I am using the boot floppy from the 1.1 distribution. I have an
ASUS P55T2P4 (Triton II) motherboard with the ASUS SCSI adaptor
(NCR 53c8x0) and a generic ISA VGA video card. The motherboard
has an onboard floppy controller, etc.
Here is a piece of the boot messages:

Is there any FAX package in the debian distribution?

i'm kind of thinking aloud here, but a couple of possibilities come to

That should be a pretty popular download. What worries me is whether
the market is going to be flooded with CDROMs with bad Packages files.

Close - remove -ltermcap and add -lncurses. The termcap-compat package
is for binaries you can't recompile, so it only has the shared lib.

I'm running a 1.1 system upgraded from 0.93R6. I'm trying to compile
CNS kerberos, and it is failing to link telnet due to the '-ltermcap'.
This worked under 0.93R6. I see that termcap-compat provides a .so,
but no .sa, and I think that is a.out anyway. ncurses3 seems to
provide termcap man page
