firstly, thanks to those who helped me w/ configuring my intel isa- bus ethernet nic.
secondly, the machine in question is running kernel 2.2.20-idepci. i don't really recall when it was installed as the machine has been a doorstop in my office for close to a year now. i tried to apt-get some packages but was prompted to install a woody binary cd into /cdrom. i guess it is time for me to upgrade. i have never upgraded like this in the past ... last really old machine had potato on it and the drive crashed so i just did a new install of woody. can anyone provide a good howto link? i googled for a while this afternoon but haven't come up w/ anything useful to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
