If you want some help, you should try sending your email to the debian-user@lists.debian.org mailing list (it's archive is browsable at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ )
I have CC'ed that mailing list. Please remove the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] recipients when you reply. Make sure you say which version of Virtual PC you use in your mail (VPC 2007 ; English ; 32 bits ??). I don't have VPC, but I have two hints : - The error "Freeing unused kernel memory" in VPC seems to occur when you allocate more that 512Mb of RAM. (!) - You might want to try alternate Virtualisation tool, like http://virtualbox.org , http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu or http://www.vmware.com/ which are known to work properly. > Don't tell anybody else you consider them junk . The emails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] are processed automatically. They really have to be "with a special format", as explained at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting So don't be offended because it says your email was discarded, just re-submit your bug-report with a valid header. You can use this report as a template to re-submit your bug. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469821 Bug reports are very useful so Debian Developers are aware of problem, and they can fix it. > I'll be more than happy to send this every email listed on your site > until I am helped.
