I moved from slink's default 2.0.36 to 2.2.1 (yes, I know).

Hi there,
After some months w/ fvwm95, I'm experimenting WMaker, and I quite
like it (lighter & seems more stable)... but there's a problem: The
Debian default menus aren't merged w/ WMaker's own menus at
installation, and I don't know how to do so... Can someone help me?

Try clearing the bogus mounts with 'umount' instead of 'smbumount'.
That works for me in the same situation.

I always set up my swap partition as a primary partition and I don't

the swap partition is more than 128MB. You can set up multiple swap

One reason is pretty installation. IMHO, RedHat has more eye candy. It

Hi,
I have an ide/ATAPI cd writer and a cd-rom. I compiled my kernel
with scsi emulation and at boot-up they're recognized, but, not
correctly.
This is what's listed at boot-up:
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
scsi : 1 host
Vendor:Model:36x CD-RO
You were right. I get another menu:
1234F:
When I looked around the corner at the PC front, I saw the floppy light come
on when I pressed F during either the 1FA: or 1234F: prompt. I put a floppy
in and pressed F and it is now booting.
I am assuming this means there is no boot record on the HD
