I have a Pi 4 machine where I've installed two OS's, the "house supplied",
and Ubuntu, both worked fine so I'm sure the hardware is good. Now I'd
like to install Debian.
I've found one very slim image of that, which ran without issue, but left
nothing in the way of a network. So now I'm trying t

machines as Debian-pure as I can. Can anybody suggest a package that I

Hm. Nope, still crashes; output from X server is attached in case it
helps. Looks to me like it's seeing my hardware and then dying anyway
for some reason but I don't see anything that looks like a complaint

The /etc/rc.d/ construction is, AFAIK, a beast of Red Hat origin. Recent
version (starting with 7.x, maybe?) symlink /etc/rc.d/init.d and the
various rc#.d directories directly into /etc as a convenience for people
who are used to the more traditional SysV layout, but functionally it's
always been
First of all, why did it crash? Any chance you were hacked? If so,
that might account for the flaky login behavior.
As for getting the files off -- there are _so_ many ways, but most will
depend on the details of your setup and the resources available to you,
none of which we know about.
How is
I'm pretty sure that in order to raise the number of inodes, you'll
have to reformat the partition, which will mean moving your news
articles aside; there may be a way to edit a live ext2 filesystem to
raise the inode count but even then I'd want to make sure I had a
backup of /var, as it's likely
I'm not sure. The freshmeat guys (or whomever) might have just been
guessing based on contextual clues, like ident checks failing, or
ftp connections switching to "passive". Without knowing the context
it's hard to say for sure.

New to Debian, I probably just need to RTFM somewhere, please point me to
it if you know...
I'm used to Red Hat's trick of chown'ing certain /dev files, notable
/dev/dsp and the CDROM devices, so that the user at the console can use
them. Is there a "Debian way" to pull off the same functionality
disk labeled for the
Toshiba Tecra. I haven't tried that (my gut tells me it won't help) but
I will while I wait to see if anybody has any more ideas.
Please, help me save another machine from the clutches of DOS. Getting
it to do what I want wouldn't be such a bad thing either.
I'm new to this list and new to Debian -- I've been using RedHat for
about the past two months though. Before that I was very nearly
Unix-free.
