Getting the most out of apt.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the best list of servers to use for the apt sources.list file? I want to be able to keep track of the largest number of packages in all the various areas, both US and non-us and devel. I read the man page for sources.list but I figured someone would have a good suggestion for a list of servers. BTW, I plan to use FTP mostly for retrieval. Also, thanks to all those who sent me messages regarding using pppd to auto-redial and keep my box connected. The persist option worked fantastically. It's nice to see a version of Xnix with such good user-based support, the best I have seen thus far.

LILO on second drive?
Greetings all, Having read various docs, etc on Lilo, and having never used it before (Always had Linux on it's own primary drive, etc) I would like to use lilo to make a slave drive bootable (kinda tired of using boot floppies). Now, my BIOS supports booting from any drive letter, so even tho I have OS's installed on /dev/hda I can tell the bios to boot drive , /hdb1 and basically ignore the existance of /dev/hda alltogether. The problem is that lilo refuses to install a master boot record, etc, because it correctly detects that it is being asked to do so on a secondary drive. Basically I would like to be able to force lilo to do what I want, and make the secondary drive completely bootable so I can just switch my bios between booting drive 0 and drive 1 at will. When I boot drive D at this time, I get a lilo prompt that looks similar to this: F1: linux F2: F3: linux F3 default. The machine then locks up. Any suggestions?

SCSI Config
Greets ppl, I have a Adaptec 152x card which is attached to an Archive Python DAT Drive, the setup works great under windows, however Debian wants to detect the card as using IRQ 12 instead of IRQ9 which the card is set to. I have all the correct Kernel Modules loaded for the card and for the tape drive, but where would I go to actually tell the scsi driver for the card what the settings are? It correctly identifies the card and the address range of the card, only the IRQ is wrong. Thanks!
