Hi,
I'm having problems using my DAT tape drive under 2.0.25
This drive used to be in a 1.2.13 system and worked fine.
Ever since I moved it to a newer server, with 2.0.23 and then 2.0.25 I've
had problems using the tape drive.
Right now I'm getting errors like these:

Back up your Linux system just in case Windows 95 clobbers its partition.
Make a boot floppy, and make sure the floppy works. Then you should be
able to safely install Windows 95. The easiest way to restore LILO is
probably to re-install the package.

Greetings,
Currently, I am running primarily Debian Linux (unstable), but I have a
160MB bootable MS-DOS partition that I am using for one or two MS-DOS
programs that don't have Linux counterparts (such as AutoCad).
My DOS setup does have some problems, however. Because I've paid much more

Jens,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I looked around in the
/etc/X11/Xsession file and found that it was looking for a file called
~/.Xresources, then ran 'xrdb -merge $userresources' on that file.
I ended up putting a similar line in my ~/.xsession file which loaded

I am looking to install Debian 1.2 on my IBM Thinkpad 760CD. Unfortunately,

but previous experiences would help.
2. Does anyone have

Mike,
I tried to install the new uucp, but it requires mailx, which I don't use.
Why the change in dependencies since the last release, if it's just a
recompile for ELF?
Thanks,

Have you tried to install the kernel
There's a .deb called kernel-package. It's in there.
Note if you are making a new set of Debian Boot floppies
then be sure to turn on root ramdisk fs support since the
kernel config file that comes with kernel-package seems
to not have this option selected.

Hi,
I just upgraded my Debian system from 1.1 to 1.2. When installing mc,
I found that mc "suggests" gpm, but there's no dependency on libgpm1.
Without libgpm1, mc won't run.
Best regards

a 486 is assumed. Giving up.
Both of these kernels have this "feature":
