Hi,
I'm trying to install imp3 from the testing distribution using apt-get, but
the install breaks because there's a conflict between the php4-pear and
php4-pear-log packages.
If I isolate the php4-pear packages, I can install php4-pear correctly.

I'm playing around with the "bootcd" package's initrd
option. And I can't seem to get it to work. There's
always some complaint about the root file system not

Hello there,
I am still having problems. I hand coded in the deb ftp.us.debian.or and

Can somebody explain to me where the IP address is supposed to
go for wireless PCMCIA cards?
I've put it in /etc/network/interfaces as eth2, but then you
have to comment out the ifup and ifdown lines in
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts or the card is configured twice, and
the second time breaks things.

jeff,
Gentoo looks interesting, one question: If you double click a directory on
the left hand side does it show the contents on the right? The screenshots

My system produces a message to the console, but not to xconsole or any
log file. It sounds severe enough that it should definitely be
addressed, but I have been unable to find out what is complaining
