Hi
The other day I posted a message concerning Debian on a Compaq Dual PPro - I
got a reply from Dale Martin to try to find a costum build kernel - none on
ftp.debian.org - but on debian.crosslink.net I found a buzz directory with some
different kernels (special_boot-6.bin is the one we used) -
I apologize for following up on my own message, but I just realized
that I could have done better.

Hi!
Here at work I have a problem since debian 1.2.1, whereas at home
