Re: SAMBA and X

Not at all. There are many console-baed setup programs for Samba. I am using linuxconf 1.17 and it has a good setup menu for Samba. Just get it via "apt-get install linuxconf" ** Derek J Witt ** * Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Put Debian on Slave?

Difficulty installing debian

I am having a problem installing 2.1. The welcome screen comes up, it detects my drives, attempts to detect my scsi deviced(which I have none), and then locks up. Is there a way to disabel scsi autodetecting at the boot: prompt on the install disk? -
