Kernel 2.6.xx
Dear All, This is my first post in the mailing list and I am sorry if it contains an stupid question. I am a debian newbie. I would like to install debian 3.0 r4 woody on a laptop (hp nx 9020). After I do a proper installation with vanilla kernel I should replace it with a 2.6 kernel. Is there a debian flavour of the 2.6 kernel or I should just get the original from kernel.org. If any of you have passed through this, help. Thanks, Atanas Atanasov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Kernel 2.6.xx
I will keep in mind that sarge uses 2.6 kernel. I am asking for it because I read in many sites that this kernel runs well with laptops and it contains many improvements from 2.4. Actually I started downloading woody and I have the first several CD-s. Isn't it possible just to recompile the core from 2.6 sourcecore and to make it run fine, or you suggest sarge as a more innovative distro supporting laptops without a lot of bothering. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Kernel 2.6.xx
Ok I might change my mind and start downloading sarge, or just order it. Anyway. How many of the CDs do I need for a woody installation. I do not mean only a workstation because I might start putting sever stuff which will need more CDs unfortunately. Where can I get the source of the sarge kernel, so that I will try to install it on a woody. I plan to test the distros first. I might put a woody and get a compiled core. Then I will see with the rest. If the only problem with 2.4 is ACPI then no worries. I read that it doesn't support wireless, bluetooth, touchpad and many other typical laptop things. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Kernel 2.6.xx
Ok, I will finally decide on sarge. Anyway can I get this necessary package from somewhere and put it with the 2.6 on woody. And by the way. When I went to the resellers list it was written that most of them sell the distros for less than $5. Then I checked their sires and didn't find anything less than $15. Strange. If you know a cheeper reseller which has international delivery and privides sarge, please write. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Kernel 2.6.xx
I am totally convinced - sarge is the best. Initially I started with woody because the rest had the "testing" label which could mean many things especially when it concerns linux. I hoped that I will be able to buy a cheaper sarge distro but in vain. I don't want to gove that money if I know that all those guys do is cd burning and download. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Kernel 2.6.xx
I am getting the netinst cd for sarge. I only doubt whether I will manage to make it run with my network. I have got my computer running Win, so I will be connection the laptio to it and sharing the internet connection (as I do with another laptop). Would this netcd be able to get with the network, recognize the lan adapter and notice the internet connection sharing? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Kernel 2.6.xx
I am afraid the same might happen to me. That's why my initial idea was to use the ready cd-images and have them burned. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Kernel 2.6.xx
A friend of mine has bought sarge on CDs from an online reseller relatively cheap. Unfortunatelly I cannot find him now and ask where did he get this from. He actually mentioned a price about $10-$15 with delivery which is almost incredible for 14 CDs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Kernel 2.6.xx
So can I set up a normal workstation with those first 3 CDs that you recomment. And if later on I need to put some server stuff I would just download it. During the installation how do I know which packages are on the first 3 CDs so that I will limit my choice only to them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Kernel 2.6.xx
I prefer getting the isos because at home I am short of bandwidth. On the other habd I can download more on another place, say using torrent or something like this. Just need to know how many of the first CDs I need for a workstation, not very limited. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Kernel 2.6.xx
I would like to ask a quite strange question. I know this might not be the exact place, but sitll hope that anyone might help. I have a 40gb hard with just 1 partition on it - NTFS. I want to make it just 10gb (the data on it is about 5gb). I read that knoppix and then qtparted should help. But unfortunately it cannot do my job. Qtparted stucks when comes for resizing, the window just halts kind of and nothing continues. But I still need to safe the WinXP on the primary NTFS. If someone has done this trick please help. Thanks, beforehand.
