I have to agree here. sid can be horribly broken at times and might not suit you, especially on your first dive to Debian. Lenny is much more stable but still gave me quite a headache sometime (this was the first Debian distro I used, back during Woody days). My suggestion is to use stable (etch) distribution for a start and either recompile your own kernel or download the 2.6.22 from debian-backports (I think this was stated previously by somebody). See here for instruction on debian backports: http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
