Woody & M$ dhcp

Hi all, Got this debian beast running **illegally** on the company network. My problem is that everytime I've got to reboot it, the dhcp server running on M$ NT, assigns the NIC a proper IP address but overwrites my resolv.conf with something like "KSL\000". Changing resolv.conf permisions to -r--r

serial ATA

I'm trying to install stable on a system with an Asus A7V600 motherboard, which supports serial ATA with a VIA VT8237 chipset. I've googled around for installation information on serial ATA support generally, and not found much that's on point. I'm not sure if serial ATA is supported directly via

"done" jobs remain in queue, blocks new jobs

I'm printing to a network print which is sitting on a jet direct port. Printing the first job works fine, but once the job is finished it remains in the queue and blocks subsequent jobs. I then have to go in and remove the "finished" job so that the next one will print. ~/Projects/wabi/design
