My wife loves hers.  But be warned, DON'T spill liquid on the keyboard.  
My daughter accidentally spilled a glass of water, some of which (I 
don't know how much) hit the keyboard.  After several days of drying out 
it is mostly back to normal.  It no longer thinks that keys are being 
pressed which have not been touched, but the "2", "~" and "DEL" key are 
not yet functioning.  I hope they will yet work, but I'm not sure.



There's probably some cleaner you can use that will displace the water
to prevent corrosion on contacts, but I don't know about the membrane
under a modern keyboard: perhaps it gets waterlogged and you need a
hairdryer?

On an old IBM model M, I used contact cleaner to get out hot chocolate.
However, they have actual switches.

To clean any keyboard I pop off all the keys CAREFULLY with a flathead 
screw driver and wipe down all the keys and the base of the keyboard. 
Please note to put the keys back perfectly onto the base buttons, also 
keep an image of a keyboard or something in case you forget the keyboard 
layout.




kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17

Dear Debian Kernel Hackers.
I think that I must have done something wrong and
please excuse the stupid question.

In this mail :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200106/msg02814.html
You write apt-get -i kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17

Unfortunatly : 
# apt-get -i kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17
Returns E: Command line option 'i' [from -i] is not
known.

#apt-get install kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17
Returns : 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to
remove and 0 not upgraded.

I dont have the debian cd, but have
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian   potato
main non-free contrib
and
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US
potato/non-US main non-free contrib

in my  /etc/apt/sources.list


I am running potato 2.2r3.
My kernel says that it is 2.2.19pre17.

I want to compile a module, 
and need the kernel headers

Here are the options that I have found on the net 
kernel-headers-2.2.19
kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17-idepci_2.2.19pre17-3.deb
kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17-compact_2.2.19pre17-3.deb


Please advise,
and please respond to my mail directly if possible.

Re: kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17

2002-04-18 Thread James Michael DuPont
Sorry to bother you all again,
This is what I get out.
I have tried looking everywhere on the net and cannot
find the headers. 
I would recompile my kernel so I have the headers that
fit, but I am not that good. Something keeps the
kernel from booting, maybe it is to big.

I have tried to find the package everywhere!

Re: kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17

2002-04-18 Thread James Michael DuPont
Thanks bob,
I have the exact same installed.

Funny 

my uname -r returns 2.2.19pre17.

 /etc/netlock/nlvcard.o was compiled for kernel
version 2.2.19pre17-compact
while this kernel is version 2.2.19pre17.

Anyway, does anyone have this netlock VPN client for
linux running? Or has used free S/WAN to talk to a
Nortel VPN server, probablly not :(

Re: kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17

2002-04-19 Thread James Michael DuPont
If it helps anyone,
I have done the following :

1. got my CDs back :=)
2. installed the KERNEL SOURCE of 2.2.19pre17
apt-get kernel-source-2.2.19pre17
that gives me the headers as well!!!

Feeling kinda silly!
