Re: kernel

Oh and the distribution of debian linux that I have came on a CD from Boot magazine. I have made and installed the base floppies (from the CD) as well as set the name and the root password. And i assume the CDROM is ok because when I installed the drivers the message read something to the effect of

Re: kernel

I'll try this but I'm unsure how to find my CDROM using the 'cd' and 'ls' commands. I am aware that 'cd' mirrors the dos function of the same name and 'ls' is the same as 'dir' but linux doesn't assign drive letters, does it? Or would it be 'scd0'? And sleep sounds like a good idea!!! It's almost 4

Re: Why not as a newsgroup?

Maybe I missed something but why is this even an issue? I have configured my mail client (in windows for the time being) to route all debian-user mail to a seperate folder. Sure it can be cumbersome to wait for a couple hundred e-mails to download but with a 56K connection I can surf or do whatever

Re: kernel

If you're CD-ROM is working with the rescue floppy, then there shouldn't be a hardware problem. Hmmm. I think that there is a way to get a command prompt after booting to the rescue floppy. Alt-F2 or Alt-F1? Try them, then see if you can use 'cd' (change directory) and 'ls' (list) to figure out

Re: kernel

Richard, Thanks for the info, I'm hopeing for the best!! I'm not connected to a LAN however, so I'm wondering if Linux has dial up support. From what I can tell it doesn't appear so. Is there a way I can download from windows then somehow "see" these files while running linux? The reason CDROM s

Green linux user needs help building kernel

I am trying to install the drivers for my SCSI cd roms but i am unable to locate the linux source code. There is no directory called /usr/src/linux on my hard disk. I am booting from a floppy and the root directory is on a Jaz disk (2GB), during boot the SCSI card and all of my SCSI device

aic7xxx kernel

I installed Debian using a pre-compiled set of disks made especially for the Adaptec 2940 SCSI card, and now I am trying to make a custom kernel. I know what I'm doing, but I can't figure out which options to choose during 'make config' to get a working kernel. I've tried several permutations. He
