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:

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:
loadlin kernel initrd=image.gz root=/dev/ramdisk
and start installing?
I do kinda the same thing with slackware [I know how to (I never tried

I'm an experienced linux user (I've been using slackware).
Is there any instructions on having a ramdisk based filesystem (using loadlin's
initrd=<> option?)
I don't want to have to make floppies...
I should be able to run everything off a cdrom from dos, booting loadlin...
