Suppose I wanted to build my own kernel, and I wanted to use the .config file used to build a kernel-image package as a starting point. Where would I find that file (or how would I go about creating it) ? I'm comfortable with make-kpkg, and I've used it to build many a custom kernel. What I'm

It sounds as though you have some confusion about the differences between the smb networking protocol, which SAMBA and windows file and print sharing use, and the tcp/ip network protocol with BIND, which Linux and Windows TCP/IP use. This confusion no doubt is due to the fact that Microsoft deci

I had a similar problem putting the hamm (2.0) "beta" on a Thinkpad 600. I remember 2 boot-related problems: 1) I started the install from a floppy, and I remember that I had to go and find a floppy image that would boot-- I think I found it in Japan. The "tecra" image did not work, but this
