This happens because the ne modules relies on the 8390 module. It's best to use
modprobe instead of insmod since it will resolve these dependencies for you.
Alternatively, you can just first say 'insmod 8390' and then your insmod line.

Uh... maybe it's just a terminology problem, or language
problem, but...
One doesn't _send_ DNS messages to a nameserver, one
sends DNS _queries_. This is handled in the resolver
library, or kernel netwo
Only an idea:
this message comes from the files /etc/init.d/kdm or /etc/init.d/xdm
(grep "unable to check" /etc/init.d/*)

I would say that it's mainly visual improvements but I like the panel
that you get on the top of your desktop: it is swanky and handy. When I
moved to helix, I ended up switching from enlightenment to sawfish
(formerly sawmill) as they work quite well together. Overall, I'd say
they've done a fine
Hi,
Thanks for all the replied I got from this group.
Speaking of NFS? How do I set it up on the existed

Thanks!

I had the same problem. There is a problem with the other scsi drivers
confusing the aic7xxx driver. I was able to install using the boot floppies
with only the aic7xxx scsi driver. They can be found at:

Hi,
I don't know for sure if this is the best place to ask (debian-doc looks
more like it's for the people developing documentation, rather than for
asking *about* it - tell me if I'm wrong and I'll ask there), but here
goes...
I've used Debian off and on for a while now, and the thing I find most

hi-
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to send this message. I'm
not new to Linux, but I am new to Debian.
While doing network installs (m68k arch at the moment), the installer
asks where it may find the base2_x.tgz. The installer seems to only
know how to perform http transfers, and w

I have recently upgraded to potato, and after doing so, I can no
longer open an X session, either from xdm or from startx. The version
is 3.3.6-6.
At boot time, the last two lines of the messages generated
by the boot process are:

Hi ,
Does anyone know if the DBMS Interbase is packaged for Debian?
I've tried to check using: apt-cache search interbase, with no success.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions,
Sath
I do this from cron every night:
#! /bin/bash
cd /usr/local/fromDebian
DEBIAN=ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists
wget -o LOG-unstable-contents $DEBIAN/unstable/Contents-i386.gz
mv Contents-i386.gz Contents.unstable.gz
Then I could do
zgrep gvim /usr/local/fromDebian/Contents.unstable.gz
