Well, unless someone comes to my rescue, I think I am officially giving up on getting Debian up and running on s390. I cam across a poster mentioning there are "depressing little Debian s390" developers. I understand this now. I also understand free software comes alot from free time of individuals, but what I have a problem with is those that are making profits from selling CD's with broken installers. I downloaded the (also "free") CentOS and it booted right away. Should have did this a week ago. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
