The deb for libtiff3 is on:

I would like to compile my own kernel, but I can't find kernel-package
anywhere on ftp.debian.org... I found kernel-headers, and kernel-source,
but I already have a tar.gz of the source.
Do I even need the kernel-package? What benifits will it give me?

Thank you all for replying. I was not very clear about my second
question. Currently, I have a DOS partition that takes up 25% of the
total disk space and the rest is empty. My concern was if I would lose
any data on the DOS partition if I create two Linux partitions using

There are packages for 11 different editors in our FTP archive (or on

I know that 'tar' can backup across multiple tapes, and I'm sure that
most all of the programs out there can do it as well.
