I just used make-kpkg to build a new kernel for the unstable installation on this machine. I built the new kernel primarily because I was (and am) having trouble getting the ethernet module to load at boot.
I had some surprising trouble building this kernel. I (and indeed, make) could not as86 or ld86. I tried searching in the Packages files and even Packages-Master. I grepped the contents of several (likely in my opinion) packages but could not find them in unstable. Ultimately, I just mounted the stable systems usr partition on a directory in /mnt/ and linked the stables versions to unstable. I was pleasently surprised by the fact that this seemed to work -- at least the kernel compiled and the machine boots the new kernel. Are these two rather important programs not in unstable? I guess that I am more than just a little mystified as to why they are not present on my machine? best, -bill ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
