Suggestions for cheap pentium motherboard

I have debian 1.3.1 on an old 486 dx4100, 16 M, and was pondering installing a new motherboard, but I have very little in the way of funds. Any suggestions on tried-and-true but in- expensive motherboards? I am also planning 16 M of additional ram at the same time. -- Gary -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE

How should I modify the /etc/init.d/boot file?

I wanted to apply the Swap-Space mini HOW-TO so I could use the same swap partition on Windows (3.11 and 95) and Debian. In order to accomplish this, I had to modify the way the swap is activated (/etc/init.d/boot) and deactivated (/etc/init.d/{halt,reboot}). I ended up creating a file /etc/init.d/
