RAID install

Hi all, I'd like to install Woody on a motherboard with SATA RAID, using the RAID 1 array as the root partition. The problem is that the neccessary driver (silraid) is in 2.4.22, but not in 2.4.18 (which as we all know is the Debian install kernel). Any suggestions? This is for a server that ne

xmms with icewm

Hi all, Just deleted Gnome and moved to icewm. I realised that I don't really use any gnome programs, and everything's much slicker now. I've noticed that the "show on all desktops" setting in the xmms menu doesn't appear to work in ice. Anyone know why, and how to fix it? I can do an Alt-F2,
