Hi,
I am trying to upgrade from linux kernel 1.2.1 (Unifix 1.6) to either Debian
or Slackware. I have been persuaded by all this talk about Debian system.
I followed the instructions on making floppies but unfortunately the process
stops after reading the boot disk with the error message:
I'm interested in writing a graphical package selection program for
Debian. Something that runs under X Windows, maybe written in tkperl.
I'm envisioning something like a cross between Debian's dselect and
Red Hat's glint utility. Before I start in on it, has anyone already
written anything like

Easy enough to fix... Edit your /etc/conf.modules and add the
following:
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
alias netmask off
alias broadcast off
(I only use the first two on my system, but it works for me...)

when it went to read it back to verify the data written was correct, the verify
