Okay, due to some *very* large storage requirements, I've gotten a
ST173404LW drive (73.4 Gig Ultra2 160 drive), and I've hooked it up to
the onboard AIC-7890 controller on my ASUS p2b-s motherboard (which
has worked fine with my 9 and 18 GB ATLAS drives).
However, I can't partition the new driv

/usr/local/lprng/man.

Anyone gotten Web Jetadmin running under Debian 2.1?
I downloaded 5.6 from HP. It finds all it's librarys. I had to tweak

even starts up, but it doesn't appear to answer http requests.
Ideas?

Okay, last time I posted this I had truncated my cut and paste, which
hid some (rather important) lines of the output---so I'm reposting it

Okay, I've asked on comp.os.linux.networking, figured I'd ask here too
since I've seen similar topics come up.

if anyone could shed some light on things.

Recently I upgraded most of my machines from the version of
kernel-package that came with hamm to 6.05.
Now when I build kernel source packages, instead of the kernel-source
package unrolling to /usr/src/kernel-source-x.x.x it just creates
/usr/src/kernel-source-x.x.x.tar.gz.

I've been installing a fresh copy of bo from ftp.debian.org, and have

Okay, I've got a fairly out-of-the-box Bo system, and I wanted to hook

now it's not working.
