I gave up on my well reported, here, effort to get my custom kernel 2.4.22 to support CD writing.
I decided to try a prepackaged debian kernel as someone suggested here. As long as I was going to the trouble, I chose kernel-image-2.6.0-test4-1-386, using apt-get upgrade. It took over five hours to download with my modem connection.Installation started by asking me questions about the keyboard. Then it threw the usual linux curve at me: dpkg: error processing console-common (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: console-common console-data How is an ordinary mortal supposed to know that this means and what to do? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
