Hamm on CD

Greetings Debian Users Now that Hamm is frozen, I'm thinking I'd like to try it out. Are there any cd images available yet? I would *much* rather install from cd. We have a fairly quick net connection at work, and I can burn a cd there, while my home machine only has a 33.whaterver modem (on a

Redirecting to a tcp port

1998-02-05 Thread Dale Smith
Hi All, This isn't really a Debian question, so please forgive me if I am offending anyone. Is there a way to redirect standard out to a tcp port? Piping to telnet doesn't seem to work. This is probably a job for expect or something. Anyway, anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Dale -- Dale P.

XSuSE NVidia X server and Debian

1998-01-20 Thread Dale Smith
Greetings Debian Users, I am in the middle of installing Debian 1.3.1 from a cd I made from the image files. Unfortunately, my graphics card is a Diamond Viper V330, which has the NVidia Riva 128 chipset. The XF86 FAQ pointed me to the SuSE web site, where they are developing a driver. The inst
