I just bought a Pentium pro with a bundled 3c905 boomerang card...
I figured to try it out in windows to see if it works...couldn't
get the enet card to work...
Installed redhat 4.2...the boomerang worked with no problem...
(but I built a clean 2.0.30 with 3c59x support and I had no luck...)
What the value of ARCHITECTURE I need?
I tried building dpkg-1.2.[6,11] on slackware systems, and
configure failed to pick a good ARCHITECTURE?
Shouldn't this build on vanilla Unix systems?
Also, what documentation should I read about handling .deb files
as an experienced tar user?

You need a correct zSystem.map to go with the kernel.
This is a headache...
What I'm doing to automate the process is changing the kernel Makefile:

I sure am. I have known a couple of friends that have 16bit cards and when
they upgraded them both to a PCI (I can't remember what it was now) they
went from 250kb/sec on their lan to around 600kb/sec. I think that's a
substantial increase IMO.
Let me just say that I've clocked cheap
The 825 has a BIOS...but the 810 based cards do not, and can't be used to
boot from a SCSI disk unless your system BIOS has the appropriate BIOS
extensions built in. Most Pentiums do...but some don't.
I have an NCR810 card...it was in a Packard Bell...I knew nothing
about PCI before
Hmm...you might also want to start making a swapfile and see
if you use it. (they're easy and convenient, and if you never [rarely]
swap, there's no performance hit).
Running 16 Mbytes with X and software development will cause swap, figure

Is there a compressed filesystem in a file somewhere (I already have
a kernel) where I can just do:

Nono no no... please don't rely on such features of GNU software. This
will NOT work with a generic cp on other systems. Please use either a
piped tar or a cpio,afio or whatever else. The cp method mentioned above
is definitely not the way to solve such general unix administration tasks.
I'm an experienced linux user (I've been using slackware).
Is there any instructions on having a ramdisk based filesystem (using loadlin's

I should be able to run everything off a cdrom from dos, booting loadlin...
