Just picked up the latest InfoMagic CDROM (green). It claims to have Debian
1.2 on it, but once again, there are a few problems (not like the 1.0 fiasco,
though). Here's a list -- consider this the early warning system for anyone
using Debian 1.2 off the infomagic cd:

Uhh.., I am a relative newcomer myself, but I already learned something
from this list: don't use /dev/cua*, it's sort of obsolete. I had some
minor problems as well but they disappeared when I converted all cua*

Has anyone seen anyting on drivers so that someone can use their zip drive

Easy mistake.
The directory where you found the resq1440.bin file also contains
rawrite2.exe . Use that to write the raw floppy disk image files onto
your floppy. They don't go in the filesystem - instead they over-write
the filesystem.
Thanks

I don't think this is a boot floppy problem.
Under Debian 1.2, the "wd" driver is in a module. You should be able
to remove or reconfigure that "wd" module by booting your system with
the rescue floppy, mounting your hard disk, and editing /etc/modules
or /etc/conf.modules on the mounted hard disk.

Hi,
I'm a new user installing Debian 1.2 for the first time.
I'm running into instances where I get "can't load library" errors
when installing X.
When I run /usr/sbin/xbase-configure (as part of the xbase install)
I get the error: can't load library: libXmu.so.6
The file libXmu.so.6 is in: /usr/X
