Hi,
What is the minimal set of packages needed to get nfs working (other
than the base packages)?
I have the debian packages on one computer and I want to install
debian 1.1 on another computer connected to the first via ethernet.
What packages do I need to install before the new debian system ca

possible to load and install debian in 4mb of ram?

"only" 4M isn't a problem; go ahead and do it. Besides, the virtual
memory will kick in to give you more than 4 anyway . . .
but don't try to run X stuff :)

i don't know whether it is included as a package, or is just there, but
it installs as part of the base system. It does not work correctly

I downloaded ncpfs. It depends on ipx. However, ncpfs will work fine
without the ipx tools if you are running the Mars netware server and you
set it up to configure your ipx network. In fact, the ipx package will
break your ipx configuration if you are using Mars to configure your ipx
network.

I've been trying to set up PPP on two debian machines, and haven't
quite got it working. The server has been running 0.93 for a while,
and I just starting installing 1.1 on the client last week.
I can start and maintain the connection, and I can reach the server
from the client, but nowhere else
The mirror system we use is in the Debian net/mirror-2.8-6.deb package.
This is the well-known Perl mirror program. I think it requires Perl5
to run without great big memory leaks, but you should be able to take
the debian source/net/mirror-2.8-6.tar.gz archive and move that to any
platform that ru

It looks for both /base1_1.tgz, and /*/base1.tgz. So your cd will need
to mount in such a way that this is

Linux Journal has been running a series of article on writing a character

watch for it. There are some good discussions here on the fundimentals of
modules under Linux.

Scott,
Your CD should have base1_1.tgz in /debian/base1_1.tgz . Unfortunately,
the root floppy as distributed does not know how to take advantage of a

installation system (a kernel with all CD and SCSI drivers included, and
