What are the nodes that I have to make and how do I make them? If the
nodes aren't too hard to make, why aren't they in the debian package?
(In other words, why is Potato broken when it is supposed to be a stable
distro?)
Fortunately my system is still running.

Thanks for that; I was beginning to wonder if it was just me! Still having

FWIW, I have my apt pointed at testing and woody, and I got libc
2.2-6 a couple weeks ago. Did you use apt-get dist-upgrade instead

I'm using a reva imac; I've tried different sizes and types of keys, and do
lots of typing, mouse moving, try to give the hard disk stuff to do, etc, but
it still complains about not having enough entropy and needing another 2-300

After some experimenting, I have discovered the trick to getting my usb
mouse to work under X w/o backporting stuff from 2.4. I've posted this to
possibly help some other people just installing Debian.
The trick is to set the protocol to "IMPS/2" and the device to
/dev/usbmouse.
I hope this may b
Another thing you can do, that trades off Unix semantics for battery
efficiency, is to mount all your filesystems with the 'noatime'
option. If you don't do this, even reading a file that's in cache
will cause a disk write, to update the access time field of the
inode. There isn't much on a typic

Is it possible to use HFS Boot Partition with Debian and load kernel from
that partition, as LinuxPPC, SuSE and YDL do? Does it reqires only
changes in yaboot.conf?
I really do not like idea of creating Apple_Bootstrap, which is not
directly editable.
