I've finally had it. Not to knock Kendrick. His post just
pushed me over the edge. Nothing personal. I'm in the same
boat as him, generally. So many questions on this list --- and
practically no one knows how to TROUBLE SHOOT! (Including me!)
Am I wrong about that?? How can we get to the poin
Actually we were discussing this on debian-devel a few weeks ago. The
problem with it right now is that we need a utility written to make
linuxconf really debian complient (so that when ever you install a

that is needed,
You dont't need a high speed link if you are very patiant. :-) The entire
mirror is around 1 Gig, so if you get a good 28.8 connection you should
be able to download about 1 meg every 6 minutes. so 1 gig would be 6000
minutes or 100 hours or about 4-5 days for the initail mirror. After
that

Okay, now the kernel isnt dying as early on as before, it mounts the
correct filesystems and continues to load until it gets to the following;
SIOCSIFADDR:No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFADDR:No such device
SIOCADDRT: network unreachable
