I presume that a lot of people are installing some cdrom version or the
released version of Debian. The changes were in the unstable version.
How many weeks to go for the next release?

Hi,

It has happened a few times to me, and it doesn't even let me

only under X and when using mailtool over remote connection.

change my base_io from 330 to 234 to accomodate my MPU-401

Are there any other mirrors of ftp.debian.org in Australia besides
sunsite.anu.edu.au and ftp.debian.org.au? Both of these two seem to
be a bit behind with their mirroring, but the link to the US
is very very slow lately; looks like it's going to take hours
to get the updated manual pages .. :-(

This problem only exists on the boot floppies. That means if you can

Regarding why IPX gets loaded when configuring the loopback interface,
Please figure out its protocol number and add "alias net-pf-N off" to
/etc/conf.modules , where N is the protocol number.
I'm not clear what the "real" fix should be.
