What's this? uname -r shows a 2.4 kernel- hmmm, musta entered boot params incorrectly- reboot to 2.6 kernel- same probs. as in Sarge. Mandrake Move is only live cd I tried with 2.6 kernel that actually worked, and it worked perfectly (re usb devices; actually, it's pretty slick overall, and as an (ex) Drakie, I got a bit misty). However, unable to translate Mandrake to Debian, so a reversion to a 2.4 kernel was in order (now experiencing a more joyful state of mind). BTW, I'm using ga-7ixe, so will be keenly watching thread- good luck to us both!! /* Sorry can't help more, but i'm a very new linux and debian user, just installed for the second time yesterday and logged on a actual user for the first time this morning. */ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
