RE: Enough time wasted, moving on

I feel bad that you've had such a hard time with Woody. I tried it too about 8 months ago with the similar results. X didn't work (that was ok, since it was a server not a gui desktop), php4 didn't work, php3 wasn't available, etc... I got everything working, did an apt-get update, upgraded the

RE: 'Evolution' download blues.

Perhaps some bad packet was received, or maybe it crapped out in the middle of downloading, then tried to resume another day after they updated the version. CRC would then mismatch. There is a place where apt stores debs (full downloads & partials): /var/cache/apt(/partial). My recommendation is

Installing on a second disk (hdb)

on an already running system ? I'm getting a fair amount of disk seek timeout messages in the kernel log and I'd like to rebuild the system with a new HD. But I'd also like to have it down for the least amount of time possible. Can I plug the new hd at hdb, make the partition structure I want,

RE: SB AUDIGY Player supported by Linux?
