I have an Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 card, which requires
an installable module before it is recognized.
Does anyone know the format of the parameters that I have
to pass to this card either on the command line or in the
installation setup?
Thanks,

Try installing them both at the same time:

Or you can use dselect to install them.

Hello,
There is a bug in Debian-1.2.1 concerning zlib1_1.0.4-4.deb
The most programs have a Dependency-rule like this: zlib1 (>=1.03-1)
and this is not satisfied by the new Package zlib1_1.0.4-4.deb
I think renaming all files with zlib1_1.0.4-4 to zlib1_1.04-4 should
solve the Problem

The system log, "messages", can fill up to 3 to 5 megabytes in a
