Hi,
I'm about to upgrade my Debian install to Sarge. I've always done this
online before but it's been slow since I use dialup. This time I bought
a set of CDs for a work pc so I'd like to do the upgrade from them.
BUT, many months ago my Windows 2000 partition self-destructed during a

I don't have an answer just a similar experience. But I did discover
that it was over 100 nmbd samba files, discovered through use of ps,
that gave me the clue.
I never did discover what spawned all the nmbd processes. But they were
the source of the too many open files errors I believe. On the
Answering myself, as I often tend to do, setting encryption to yes in
smb.conf, and allowing netbios-ns in /etc/services solved the problem.

I think it will be the trial and error method for ethernet irq over next
couple of days. But since I'm not used to running modprobe I want to do
a little reading before I start experimenting with this.

Pigeon,
Thanks again for all your work on this. I'm still not successful but
will keep investigating it later today when I get back from work. As

with a hung pc. I want to research modprobe a bit before trying it.

Added note: I was able to find the key (F2) to get to the bios and

I've finally gotten my boss to try Debian on his PC after the success

In trying to get better fonsts in Netscape I did something to turn most

6 months ago I bought the binaries for debian linux 2.2.17. It works
fine but I want to compile the kernel to add support for sound which

I've downloaded that.
