Hi again, Well I got most of the things I require down. BTW I got an error when I did the 'dpkg -i man-db*'. It installed but complained at the end and the script aborted at line 87... it still works though...
Now the question is I need to get a 2.3MB package onto floppies and then to the Linux box. I heard of a split command that does this... is that true? How do I go about using it. The box where I am downloading the packages to is an NT system (I do have other Unix boxes around if required to run the split command (e.g. Solaris)). If you know how I can go about copying the gcc package (2.xMB) onto floppies and then to the Linux box please let me know. Also I assume I will require the split package on the Linux box too... please let me know where to find it (I just hope it will fit on a floppy!) ;) For those of you wondering why all this trouble? Well my NIC driver is not working so I need to compile a patch (yes I have tried other ways but none has worked (e.g. getting a precompiled 3c59x.o file etc I even tried upgrading the whole kernel! And still got the unresolved symbol error messages!) Thanks. Dave -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
