A question on runlevels

tions: - What defines the system as 'still booting'? - What defines the list of modules available on the system, or the list of modules to load on boot? I'd list my /etc/init.d and /etc/rc2.d, but I'm not at said machine at the moment. Thanks to all - I look forward to

Re: ippp, ppa, ramdisk (i.e., parameters for kernel compilation)

and go 'cat zImage > /dev/fd0'. Then leave the floppy in and reboot. Watch the startup. and see how it goes. If it looks ok, then you want to install the new kernel. Look at /etc/lilo.conf to see where it takes your kernel from (if you use LILO that is - you most probably do). Either back up the old one and put the new one in its place, or make /etc/lilo.conf point to where you want the new one to be. After that, run lilo and *poof* we are done.

Re: Debian DSELECT

I found a good way to learn a little about my environment was to do a 'ps aux' and look at what services were running, and just looked at their man pages. I wouldn't be looking for anything in particular, but stockpiling notes and ideas. Honestly, I don't think Debian is the best choice for a novice. But then again, congratulations if you stick with it - you've chosen the road less travelled and made it through. Steve Tremblett QNX Technical Support

Re: kernel

talled - just copying it over the old one doesn't do it, because LILO has to take the kernel and use it at boot time. Mount your SUSE drive, put the new Debian kernel there with the SUSE ones, and setup your lilo.conf to install the new kernel for Debian and you should be ok. Steve Tremblett QNX Technical Support

umns because if you get comfortable with some weird maximized xterm everything you type will look bizarre to anyone else who reads it. Steve Tremblett QNX Technical Support
