OK, new user here. I've searched through as many resources as I can to find an answer for this question but I must be overlooking it. My local Linux hand-holders are not able to answer my question.
I recently did two installations of Debian Linux 2.0.34, the "Hamm" distribution. BTW, many congrats to all Debian participants for the slick installation methods - since I was attempting to put Linux on an old '386 with a very small hard drive and no CD, the handful-of-floppies install followed by the ftp-connected dselect was very impressive. At some point, I wanted to attempt to use the ncpfs utilities to try mounting Netware servers. When I had problems, at some point I of course needed to try using ipx_configure, but regardless of the arguments I used with it I generally got: ipx_configure: socket: Invalid argument My Linux hand-holder, who uses ncpfs a lot, took me through a bunch of directories and concluded that IPX support was not included in whatever kernel I had. I recalled that there were a number of optional modules that could be installed in the kernel by the Debian installation routines, and assumed I missed requesting IPX. So I did a clean re-install, and saw that indeed, ncpfs support was an optional module for inclusion in the kernel. I requested it and when I later got to the dselect selections, I requested the ncpfs and ipx packages. But even early on in the Debian installation routine, I saw times when the scripts called ipx_configure themselves and the same error appeared. Am i using the wrong distribution, or missing something in installation, etc. etc. Any pointers on this?
