Two possibilities: - only use debian kernels (but this one is fairly unreasonable in many cases) - rebuild all pcmcia packages after you rebuild your kernel package. -Jim --- Jim Lynch Finger for pgp key as Laney College CIS admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.laney.edu/~jim/ as Debian developer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/~jwl/
Re: LiveWire Ethernet card, anyone?
Read carefully the list where you read your pcmcia card (whatever kind it is) is supported. It should tell you the version of pcmcia you need. As always, you either should get kernel-image and version-match it to pcmcia-modules packages, or else build kernel package then build pcmcia packages. If you have trouble getting the pcmcia modules kernel version to be the right version, then make sure you have only one kernel image package installed. -Jim --- Jim Lynch Finger for pgp key as Laney College CIS admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.laney.edu/~jim/ as Debian developer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/~jwl/
Re: what is "standard" installation?
Hi, The Standard System in debian is defined as: - all "required" packages - all "important" packages, and - all "standard" packages. It does -not- include (but you are welcome to install some of them anyway): - any "optional" packages, or - any "extra" packages. As versions come and go, things are moved around, added or removed. Check the package list in dselect or look at the packages files directly to find out what is where in the particular version of debian you installed (or are thinking about installing) on your computer. -Jim --- Jim Lynch Finger for pgp key as Laney College CIS admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.laney.edu/~jim/ as Debian developer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/~jwl/

Re: Installation problem w/ ASUS S82000
Hi. If I were you, I'd be looking for an IRQ that the PCMCIA thinks it can use, but when it does, crashes the laptop. Experiment to find such an IRQ. Should you find it exists, arrange for the PCMCIA drivers to not use it. -Jim

Re: Giving up on Slink, moving to potato?
(this isn't cheating, is it? :) Howbout you try this: install redhat configure X to the best you can get save the X configuration (you have to find out where RH saves the x config) determine what server redhat has chosen to use (again, where does RH put it?) wipe redhat, install debian (configs will mostly be in /etc/X11) apply the info you found with rh works? if so, success :) -Jim --- Jim Lynch Finger for pgp key as Laney College CIS admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.laney.edu/~jim/ as Debian developer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/~jwl/
