Hello: I am a lay debian user with minimum operating experience. Would someone please inform me, which manual to read for fixing a REMOTE debian system (i.e. ca. 10000 miles from my place)?
First the good news: - I can reboot the system (and login again into it) - It is not a production system (so no worries for ruin it) The Bad News is: - many anomalies occurs, e.g. the "named" sometimes dies. - not much information is available about the history of the system. - When I try to "update" (in dselect) it complains that "mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/hda as a block device" despite there are only /dev/sda, /dev/hdb, and /dev/hdc on the system. The current kernel is 2.4.6 and /etc/apt/sources.list points to woody (with commented potato). May I know, what RTFM to start? regards, -- Rahmat M.
