This maybe true, but I have noticed that once I mount a DOS floppy in Debian
after two or three times It is unreadable by Windows. It seems to me that
Linux is Hell on floppies. Even my Debian only floppies seem to have a
extremely short life. I thought my Floppy was dying then i changed it and

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 have been slowly moving from Windows95 to Debian Linux. For the past
several months, i've been using root as my everyday login. i know that's
a bad idea, but to get me started it seemed the simplest way. now i feel

Ok, concerning 'make menuconfig'
It's a command to start configuration for your own kernel. For that you
have to have the kernel source package installed, it should be in
/usr/src/kernel-*/
