Hello,
today i tried to install a new kernel. After making xconfig, make

Hi,
I was wondering what the difference is between lib*.so and lib*.a

Since you're using a modem and don't have a direct internet connection, I'd
suggest ordering the debian cd's from i-connect (web = www.i-connect.net).
The installation should go pretty smooth, although you may have to repeat the
procedure a few times to get everything to install correctly.
Hi Bjoern. To get an alias to be "permanent", it depends on what shell you're
using.
For the korn-shell, place the alias in your .kshrc file under your home

For bash, put it in .bash_profile and .bashrc -- all of these files are

a shell whenever you have either a) just lo

edit your /etc/hosts and put mybox on the line with 127.0.0.1
it should then look something like:

Firstly: It was a problem with kernel sources not expecting

Secondly, sure, this is Unix. You can always do things

Hi,
make-kpkg is part of the package kernel-package, which is

CheapBytes has SWiM Motif for $69.00. It's working well for me so
far. Install the 2.0 version, not the 2.0.
What exactly does this do? Does it make a package or does it
make a new kernel? If either where does it put it? Come to think of it
now i could have did a find on the newest files but, a little to late
