Hi,
before I spend my time recompiling the kernel severel times:
Does anyone have a SB16 with a wavetable daughterboard up and working
?
Which driver should I use when compiling the kernel ?
Some other setup to care about ?
Sick of FM, I really appreciate good MIDI sound :-)
Ciao,

Hi, forgive my intrusion. What is the latest version of Debian available on CD?
I have an old version of Slackware at the moment which I am using for
experimenting, but I decided that I want to install Debian.
Thank you in advance.

I installed debian linux a while ago from a cd, which contained the

add a kernel-parameter to be able to use my zip-drive. Last week I

"unmount" syncs. And you should un-mount the disk before removing it,
unless you happened to be using mtools to access it. I don't know anything
about mtools.

i am having some problems mounting a remote file system on my computer.
i have PPP up and running and am having no problems with it, but when
i try and mount a remote file system i get an "unknown file system error"
the command i am using is

It seems the "tifftopnm" and "pnmtotiff" programs are missing from

As Bruce Perens pointed out, rescue is indeed mountable as
msdos fs, and replacement of the kernel is straightforward.
Somehow I managed to overlook that fact in all the docs.

What you want is to set COLORTERM. Slang uses this to detect if the terminal

Why do you want to run SVGATextMode anyway? I ran it once and it was more
trouble than it's worth. The only good of it is to make more lines on the
