Thank you all for the suggestions. I think I'll start here with Etch_netinst and see how it goes. -bakki On 4/20/06, Frans Pop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Best is to either: > - use an Etch _netinst_ installation CD and then dist-upgrade, or > - use an Etch _businesscard_ CD, boot that in expert

What I do is start the normal sarge install and then when I am adding my repos to sources.list I change them to unstable and proceed with the install. I haven't had any problems doing this and it does seem to save a lot of time. On Thursday 20 April 2006 06:06, Bakki Kudva wrote: > Greg, > > A t

Greg, A tangential question. I have done netinstalls for all of my machines which are running Sarge stable. I'd like to run unstable for desktop as you do. The question is, since there is no netinstall cd for unstable do you do an install from the stable netinstall and then do a dist-upgrade? This

Yes, you can upgrade your kernel very easily in Debian. You can either use apt-get or you can use something like synaptic which is basically a gui for apt-get. 'apt-cache search linux image' This will show you a list of packages that match linux and image, 2.6.16-1 is current in unstable. I'm

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 that has built in Intel wifi that uses the IPW2200 module. I'm not using 2.6, and I really haven't heard of anyone using 2.4 to get their wifi working. I have ipw2200 and ieee80211packaged as .deb's if you don't want to compile them. Although it is really simple to m

I got my R50e working by falling back to Sarge 2.4/XFree86: I could not get this TrackPoint-only (no trackpad) unit to work with Etch/X.org. But is it possible to get the built-in Intel wireless working? All the kernal instructions with special wireless package (iwp2200-source) are pretty intim
