I purchased a new PCI based SCSI card locally and was dismayed to find that
the 2.0.3x kernels did not support this card. I went surfing and found the
"linux ready" driver for this card (source code no less!) So my question here
is: What do I have to do to fully integrate this new SCSI driver into
I recently purchased the June 1998 InfoMagic 6 CD set. On the back of the
case, it clearly states that the Debian 2.0 distribution was included in the
set. I mounted the "debian binary" disk and got this for the directory:

I've noticed that when I added more memory, the extra memory went into

massive buffers. How can I change the kernel to stop with this unnecessary
behavior?
I'm trying to keep from using swap space. Once a swap partition is acc
