Libranet

I am in the middle of a hard drive melt down and a hardware upgrade via a clean install. I have lousy bandwidth and hence, prefer a cd for installation. (I do have a base install of slink on a 486 that I downloaded via floppies however) I've been reading a bit about Libranet, which is based on

Kernel questions

I have a few basic questions about building the kernel from source for debian. I've read the documentation, but there are a few things that are unclear to me. Why is the kernel-image-* package compiled with APM turned off? Almost any computer bios made in the last couple of years supports apm fea

Hello! I have just updated my system from slink to potato, but I have found some behavior I don't like. When I start the system, the init process loads *all* the modules in /lib/modules (even the other kernel versions' ones), and it is not what it used to do. In slink I could select which modules
