I have been trying to use the apt-get update ; apt-get install communicator to get Netscape downloaded from the Debian non-free site that is in the sources. I can connect and download but then I get timed out... I was told on #Debian irc.debian.org that it might be a latency problem...So I did a search on the wed and found quite a bit of info and it all is saying to use hdparm to check your hard drive. I have 2 hard drives and Debian is on hdb2(swap) 156M, hdb3(/) 5.6G. I have tried as root and the response is, command not found. What am I doing wrong, and will this help resolve the latency problem, do I have to be in the /sbin or /usr/sbin to run this comand? After I find the best settings when do I need to place them so they will be picked up on start up? TIA Don
