What is the current standard for device files? I have a pcmcia modem. Previously it worked fine with /dev/cua1 under my Slackare Linux. Debian appears to have gone to some other device files or naming system. (I think it tried to put /dev/modem --> /dev/ttyS0 which didn't work for me.)
Anyway, I pointed /dev/modem to /dev/cua1 on the partition with my Slackware partition. That works fine, but where should it really go? Regarding the pcmcia packages, on the local mirror here I find no completely compatible binary package for the linux kernel 2.0.29. The pcmcia package is split into pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules, with versions 2.9.5-2 and 2.9.5-3 compiled for linux kernels 2.0.29 and 2.0.30. Due to rumors of bugs in 2.0.30, I don't want to go to that kernel, and there are only pcmcia-cs 2.9.5-3 and pcmcia-modules 2.9.5.2, which do not solve each others' dependencies under dpkg. I solved the above problem by getting the source package. However this may have been the cause of some previous postings on pcmcia install problems. If it hasn't been corrected at ftp.debian.org, then it should be. David -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
