Is there a way to boot the install system from the
hard disk? Of a pre-installed debian system I mean, I
know how to do it from an msdos/win system I'm going
to install over.
I made a few mistakes in install and I want to revise
my selections. I don't particularly want to make all
those floppies
Is there a command to unsplit a file from multiple
floppies, similar to the minix vol command? i.e. if I
were to write a package using using msdos fdvol to
span multiple floppies and I wanted to read it into
debian. If there is such a command what package would
it be in?
Thanx.

Whoo--I saw the Matrix last night, quite a trip.
On to business.
What exactly is eth0? From the way I've seen it
discussed I always presumed it was a device node,
residing in the /dev directory, just as ttyS1 is my
modem, ttyS0 is my mouse, hda is my first hard drive,
hdd is my cdrom. But during

I was taught in kindergarten /never/ to remove a disk
when the light was on, and I never do it. Removing
while it is mounted but not currently being read or
written isn't very damaging--

I think we found part of the problem. And if it isn't
causing trouble now, it's sure to be later. A more
realistic setup would be 80 megs with 50 swap,

Yes, but that's because Linux comes from outside of
the FSF. If I'm not mistaken, Hurd comes from FSF and
