csh logout - shutdown

I prefer to use the csh shell to interface with Debian. However, I cannot call shutdown from the csh command line. I believe that I could accomplish this by making a call to the proper script or editing one of the scripts in init.d. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Debian 1.1 (Kernel v2.0) Questions

I was curious if it's possible to yank the Linux Kernel v2.0.20 off sunsite.unc.edu and install it on a Debian v1.1 (Kernel v2.0) machine. I require this because I use the eepro ethernet driver and the v0.08 that is included with Debian 1.1 is broke. The new v0.09 eepro driver is supposed to

Swap partition and fdisk

I have got 16MB of RAM on my machine. Could someone tell me if it would still be necessary for me to create a Linux swap partition. Also, would Linux fdisk wipe out my DOS partition even if I only want to create one Linux partition w/ Linux fdisk and not mess up w/ DOS partition using Linux fdisk.

Re: Mouse

By default, X11 uses /dev/mouse, I think. So perhaps there is just a symlink /dev/mouse -> /dev/ttyS0 missing. (Of course, you have to refer to the correct mouse device, /dev/ttyS0 is "COM1", so if you have a bus mouse, you will have to change this to the appropriate device.) So doing so

If you buy a Debian CD, it may not come with 2.0.20 . However, you will be able to download a package from our FTP site and upgrade your system to 2.0.20 . It should be about 2MB for the binary kernel package, 5MB for the full kernel source. Installing a package takes a one-line shell command. 2.0
