I am having some problems getting 2.6.0-test11 working on my 2 Sid boxes. I know these questions are probably more appropriate for LKML, but I am hoping that somone here can provide me some insight so that I can go to the kernel people with some useful info, rather than a "help me" request. Any he

Q:No modconf in 2.6?

Hi, I just installed 2.6 and to my surprise it came up nicely on first try. When trying to install modules though, modconf didn't show any? Is there another tool to be used. I've also seen this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=192232 Would that mean that there is no

ATI Radeon 9800 XL / XFree 4.3?

Hi, I have an ATI Radeon 9800 XL card and want to use it with debian/unstable Kernel 2.6. From what my googling turned up so far I would need XFree 4.3? In unstable I "only" found XFree 4.1. On apt-get.org I found XFree 4.3 for woody. Would I be able to use it? Any other place I can go

Why should non-root users have a password?

If I have a firewall, and I'm the only person who uses my computer, do I really have to have a password on my non-root account? I know the answer is "yes" but -- why? They can't do anything to my machine anyway, except use it. And due to the firewall that never happens anyway. -- To UNSUBS
