It's ludicrous to subject everyone to spam just to make things convenient for a minority of users, especially if a fix exists that only those people affected by the spamblock will have to implement. jpb -- Joe Block <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.

How about make a new source that is just the new kernel + it's requirements? It would have been a lot easier to do 2.2 upgrades if we could have just added deb http:/www.debian.org/~slink22 kernel22-update main to /etc/apt/sources.list to do the upgrade. It seems to work well for the 3.3.x packages vincent maintains for slink. jpb -- Joe Block <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.

I'm interested. I'd like to be able to make a boot disk with ntfs & vfat support so I can use it as a rescue disk for hosed windows boxes. Ideally, I'd like to see a shell script that asks what network card the target box uses and creates a new rescue floppy with just that module. jpb -- Joe Block <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.
