Hello,
I have installed Debian on my G3 Powerbook's 4 gig expansion bay hard
drive. (I have some experience with Debian, I successfully installed
the m68k port on my Mac IIci)
I installed Debian over the net, and everything seemed to go find. The
installer identified my partitions as /dev/hdc6,
Actually, I found this little tidbit on some FAQ or HOWTO or Install doc
somwhere:
remount root filesystem read/write
mknod /dev/hdc6 b 22 6 #for my root partition
mknod /dev/hdc8 b 22 8 #for my usr partition
that worked.
thanks for your help

It doesn't seem to be. I even purged gpm with dpkg. I don't know if I changed

I can't figure out which file in /etc/rcS.d to put 'trackpad notap' in.
But the trackpad_tool program works fine, thanks for the help.

Also during PCMCIA 'make config', it said my kernel version number is

Why not 2.2.16? Did something weird happen when I compiled the kernel?

Thanks.

Ok, maybe this is the deal. I think I put '2.2.16' in the EXTRAVERSION field
in the
Makefile. Would that add the extra 2.2.16?
I didn't name anything else like that.
Can I just take it out of the Makefile?

rpm, so its not a debian package? or is it on the debian ftp site?
I removed EXTRAVERSION field (blank)
I removed usr/include links (asm,linux,scsi)
Apparently I have the latest version of libc6-dev
I rebooted
uname -a still gives me version 2.2.162.2.16
Should I manually change /lib/modules/2.2.162.2.16 to 2.2.16?
Or should I just re-compile the kernel?
And
Cool, I'll try this. Is there a reason for not doing the whole thing as

When I compiled the first time, I could not do the'make mrproper' except as

since those options don't symlink the kernel image but still create
symlinks for the configs (and System.maps?). So I can't install kernels
the Debian way, but I can build kernel-image packages the Debian way and
then do violence to them by just extracting the files by hand.
