IMHO if possible it's better to _attach_ the _relevant_ excerpt - not inlined since mail formatting breaks lines and thus readability, so that all infos is archived in the ML, whereas URLs tend to disappear over time. But for big stuff URL is better, if not the only option. 300 lines by ~100 char means ~30kB, which should be fair with most MLs - ie sf.net's limit is 40kB. > localhost kernel pcmcia: detected deprecated PCMCIA ioctl usage for > process: discover > localhost kernel pcmcia : this interface will soon be removed from the > kernel. Please expect breakage unless you upgrade to new tools likely old stuff from previous installation - you'd better check and clean up, ie remove all 'sarge' pkgs. > remember what it exactly was... something like this : "XXX (sleep fans > etc) enabled, XXX (sleep fans etc) disabled : BIOS too old"... but I see > no such messages with Etch, it simply does not work, same as with Sarge. that's from the kernel, there was a limit release date for ACPI to be deemed reliable, iirc that option has been removed - you need to play with kernel boot params acpi*, apm* and find what works - hopely some other TP user has infos for you. -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
