The subject line of this message is pretty self explanatory. Anyone have any

Greetings,
I have several different problems occurring.
1. I choose the linux source from dselect and it says there is nothing to get.
2. I use ftp.debian.org for the ftp source and I get a broken channel

I also had trouble like this (I don't remember the specific unknown
numbers; the machine was a new Dec Venturis FX-2 with Pentium MMX).
It disappeared when I installed Linus's (then-) latest patch,
pre-2.0.31-6.

Why not just tell her to use Control-Alt-Delete to shut down the system?
Debian will perform an orderly shutdown and reboot the machine, at which
time it can be safely powered off.
No magic necessary.

Hi.
I was trying to install Debian on my new K6-based PC.
It seems as if the mother board is a bit too new,
7100-7113 and 1300 is unknown.
Now, I looked in pci.h in 2.0.30, found nothing.
They are, however, supported in 2.1.50.
Problem is, I want to install Debian without too much hacking.
And
I am running the unstable (hamm) distribution of Debian. According to
dselect my libraries etc. are up-to-date with those available in the
distributions hamm, hamm/contrib, and hamm/non-free on ftp.debian.org.
