Is there a reason debian does not ship with /dev/random and /dev/urandom
mknodded? (mknod /dev/random c 1 8 ; mknod /dev/urandom c 1 9 and they work
fine however)

Hi,
My new /dev/sndstat in debian1.1 differs from an old one I installed
myself in an old kernel (without modules). There appears to be several
drivers missing. and Midi device is not set up.
At the moment, I include sound.o in /etc/modules. Am I missing some
modules, or do I have to recompile/re

There were three problems:

Does anyone know of an easy way to make it so that
cron.daily/weekly/monthly jobs get executed even if the system is not on
at the specified time?
For instance, I typically only run my home system an hour or two per
day. How could I make it so that the first time I boot my system each
day, /e

Hi,
the problem is this. I has a 120 Pentium and Linux didn't make dep or
make zImage on it. All kinds of errors probably because of signal 11.
Now the processor has been replaced (it was that or the motherboard)
with a 100 Pentium and it worked better. Still I got the following

Hi there,
I'm trying to install Debian 1.1 (I know that it's unstable and maybe
I should start with a stable release first, but I have already learned
a few things and I think I should be able to complete the installation
with your help).
To this end, I have made a copy of one of the mirrors to a

I downloaded what netscape delivers these days, only to find that I had
2.02 and the debian installation package wanted 2.01, so I downloaded the
source to debian-2.01 and set it up for 2.02. The installation went fine,
unlike when I tried to install it using the 2.01 package.
