Whenever I boot my Debian system now, it still goes through and polls for devices I just don't have before it goes to INIT 2. The BIG problem with this is, for that time, my LAN is completely hammered with bad packets. My collision lights slam steady on, and all network activity is hosed. This is, needless to say, unacceptable.
I was never prompted to use the custom boot disk I was told to set aside and use during the install process. I'm thinking that's why my boot is still so all-out wild and wooly. It's still going out an looking for CDROMS, scanners, the kitchen sink serial port, etc. :( How do I make/use that custom boot disk and/or otherwise tune my kernel so that I can take all the chaff out of the boot up and not hose my network. Many thanks in advance for help! I'm downloading packages still... I believe I screwed up when I interrupted dselect's getting of some packages I didn't want. Oh well.. If I have to start from scratch again, at least I know not to use those silly commas :) Regards, Kendrick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
