Another minor release update is scheduled for this weekend, and should be
ready for download within a few days.
Unfortunately some non-free hardware drivers do not work with older hardware.

think that some, especially mail-server, were a great help
to inexperienced users because they set sensible defaults over all the
included packages, and even for those not immediately included such as
spamassassin. Could it be made available among the tasks listed by aptitude?

I have often found that older disc drives give up if asked to use
DMA, so try booting with NODMA (see also the Knoppix disc F2 or F3 from the
first screen).
Otherwise use floppies to start the installation.

two buses and hung the system because its driver was not loaded early

eepro100 removed from
the list in /etc/modules to check whether the card will still work and is
still assigned as eth0, not eth1, as at one point the firewire card appeared
to be eth0 (it is only there to connect to a camera, not my network).
Hope you find this useful. Thanks for all the hard work
with SCSI drive and SCSI back-up tape). If this
is the normal action, and discs will always be checked/scanned regularly, I
can remove the drive and add it later, but there is no indication that this
is just a problem with the initial reboot.
