Add a new module to kernel?

2001-10-24 Thread Michael Fontenot
If I need a new module (one that I didn't know about when I did my initial Debian install), do I have to build a new kernel to get that module, or can I just install the module now somehow? Specifically, I want to be able to do java development. I did an apt-get of jdk1.1-native and jdk1.1

I've just installed debian 2.2r3, and I've got an Ensonic PCI sound card (es1370) that DOES seem to be recognized during boot, and does show up in an lsmod (although it says "unused"... I don't know what that implies). The lsmod also shows "soundcore ... [es1370]". I also have all the /dev audi

It appears to me that the netscape package included on the debian 2.2r3 cd's is only the browser, not the combined browser/communicator. If I do an "apt-cache search communicator", it just comes back with "mozilla". So if I want integrated browser/(email & newsgroups), I think my choice is to do

How get CUPS?

I tried to install CUPS from my debian 2.2r3 cd's, but apt-get says it's not there. Is there a version somewhere that is compatible with debian 2.2r3? Mike Fontenot [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Indenting with magicfilter

2001-10-05 Thread Michael Fontenot
After being unable to get my postscript printer to work properly using apsfilter, I uninstalled apsfilter and installed magicfilter.  That worked much better, but there were still two problems (both "showstoppers"):   1) I can't get any indentation.  The man page for magicfilter     says tha

Postscript printer doesn't work...

I recently installed debian 2.2r3, including the various "parport" driver modules and the lp module.  I also istalled "lpr".  When the lpr command didn't print, I installed apsfilter, but it failed to print the test page.   I have a postscript parallel printer (Optra Ep), which is supposed t

Are you sure that dhcpcd isn't working?  I just installed dhcpcd, and at first I thought it wasn't working, because there was nothing about DHCP written to the console during boot.  But I eventually discovered that it was working fine... it just doesn't print out its transmission and recep

What is the ide-tape device name (/dev/?) ?

2001-10-03 Thread Michael Fontenot
I installed the ide-tape module, and an "lsmod" shows it to be there.  But there is no /dev/ht0 file (which was the way I accessed the ide-tape on my old redhat 5.0 system).   Is the device name for the ide-tape something else in Debain? Or do I need to do some additional configuration to m
