Can someone give me some guidance on what packages to install to get an
ISAxPCMCIA adapter with an Orinoco type wireless card to work? I've
installed the normal laptop stuff with no success. The wireless card
works fine in laptops.

I have this ISO image:
debian-31r0a-i386-netinst.iso
I expected it to do straight Sarge/stable installs. But, it puts
"testing" in etc/apt/sources.list and it seems, after the basic CD
install is done, to install Etch/testing stuff. Can someone explain
what is going on to me?

This is not a strictly laptop problem, but I see it on a laptop :-)
It happens at least on Libranet 2.8, and I seem to recall seeing it
happen on other Debians.

The pointer on this C600 is driving me crazy. As if I needed the push.
The "eraser head" portion keeps getting keystrokes from adjacent keys
and the touch-pad portion thinks it is being used whenever I wave my
thumb over it.
Also, infrequently the pointer dies. Restarting X doesn't fix it,

This is not the right place for this question, but since I'm on this
list, I would try anyway.
A while back, I stumbled on the gnome-terminal feature that allow one
to pass a URL to a browser very easily; I've become quite a fan of that
feature. However, I have found it nowhere documented. An

I've been messing with Compaq Armadas (73xx, 78xx, 7400, 7800) quite
some time and haven't been able to get everything to work at one time.
USB is broken under kernels 2.6.x. PCMCIA tends to not work under
2.4.x and in certain cases (new Ubuntu at least) a Debian 2.4.x kernel
package fails to

Are you aware that you can use a swap FILE and just put it in whatever

For years, I have been trying to get sound working on Compaq Armadas:
73xx, 78xx, 7400, & 7800. Thanks to some help I got here months ago, I
got it going without ALSA; I guess that's OSS. I've tried to start
using ALSA and now I've gotten sound broken again. This is on a 7400
running Ubuntu,
In testing current versions of both Mepis and Ubuntu, I find that both
have this problem on a Compaq Armada 7400:
kernel 2.6.x works fine.
kernel 2.4.x fails to properly handle the "eraser head" pointing
device.
This is surprising since numerous other distributions do handle the
pointing device

I have a wide variety of Armada 77xx, 73xx, 7400, & 7800. I have never
gotten satisfactory sound out of any of them. Sound is generally
detected or easily configured (SB compatible ESS). However, generated
