Some people get lots of strange messages using the compact version, as it's trying to detect scsi drives, if there aren't any present. I think perhaps it even quits because it can't find them. Adam recommends idepci to those people. This might also not be a problem with the 2.4 kernel, that is we could send people from compact to 2.4 instead of to idepci, possibly. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
