The kernel in the latest base2_0.tgz seems to have a couple of small
problems.
Firstly, the PCMCIA modules can't find a number of symbols
on start-up (no big deal to me but important to others).
Secondly, and more importantly, support for the nfs file-system has
been removed. This makes using t

I don't see the 2.0.7 boot disks for an i386 system on
master.debian.org yet. Could someone please remind me where to get
them from Enrique's computer? I don't seem to have that message any
more.

have installed (or attempted to install) debian from floppies close to
100 times. I have rarely seen a base image disk fail, but have seen
quite a few boot disks fail, and many rescue disks fail.
I am convinced that the failures are truly random, and are not,
in most cases, cau

Actually, as I understood it, the problem was poor linux floppy
drivers.

Ok, I have had enough.. I would like to do something!
After hearing for the nth time that someone's computer wont work with
debian but will with redhat and slackware, I would like to try my hand
at making some boot disks. I read the BootDisk HOWTO in the past, and
I think I get the basic

I recently crashed the root partition of a hamm station. Fixing it, I
installed several packages, also kernel-image package.
The system was not able to boot anymore. Trying to come into the system, I
tried Debian 1.3 boot disks and some newer disks (20-2, 20-3?). All disks

hy.
if you have reasons to use 2.0.29, that's ok. but add a disk with
2.0.30 ! there are people like with buslogic scsi adapters, and that
adapter is not included in 2.0.29. not everyone has a second linux
system at hand, where he can download kernel-image-2.0.30 and modify the
bootdisk.
