Assuming you have mysql-server installed, you should be able to type

I've been setting up software RAID1 and am wondering what to do about
swap. According to the Software-RAID-HOWTO

the config files you'd be moving, and you'll have a cleaner system to
start from.

It's also possible his ISP has assigned him a static IP through DHCP;
this does make configuration easier for most folks as you don't need

I'm trying to do software raid on a fresh install of Woody with a
2.4.26 kernel. In order to load the software raid I need to make an
initrd image, so I installed initrd-tools. However, when I run
mkinitrd, I get the following message:

Hi list,
I've just installed Debian Testing from the new installer - very slick -
but am having problems getting my sound to work. I have ALSA modules
and utilities installed:
alsa-modules-2.4.25-1-686 (for kernel 2.4.25-1-686)

alsa-utils-1.0.3-1
