Hi,
I have the same card, and I just set it up again 2-3 days ago. If you're
using Debian 2.0 hamm you won't need to download isapnptools as it is
part of the base system and already installed (it may even be for 1.3
for all I know).
All the documentation I needed I found by reading the manpages

I just today bought a really nifty keyboard with a built-in touchpad and

Hi,
This has been bugging me for awhile and now I guess I'll ask what to do
about it. I've been using glibc Netscape 4.5pre1 for awhile now and I
installed it with dpkg -i --force-depends using the NS4 debian

it will keep on
Well firstly, what is that error in the log file? Can you be more
specific? To read your files on the win95 partition, the command is

any directory you want). For example, say you have an IDE disk and
Windows is on your first primary partition. Type:

It's a replacement for the standard xfs that comes with X11 that
