[OT] A simple network question - login hangs

I'm sure my answer is in one of the HOW-TO's, but I bet it is one of those 30s fixes when you know what you're doing, so I'll go straight to the people who know what there doing. I apologize in advance for taking up bandwidth. I have two linux boxes that used to be sitting in my office at school.

.diff files

I managed to get a base debian potato to boot on my ricoh g1200s. (Everyone cheer) Now I'm faced with my utter ignorance. I have a couple linux boxes, but this is my first crack at debian. There are some patches that let my use various hardware features (eg touch screen), but they come in the

somewhat OT: Long Range Wireless LAN under linux

This is a little off topic because it's more of a hardware question than a software question. Is there a system available that would let me have wireless connectivity with a range of at least 1500 feet. There is one building in the way, but it is otherwise open. I could even put the base an

Infinite sevens: MBR problems

I've almost successfully installed the debian base on a pcmcia hard drive in a PC110. I say almost because I can't get it to boot. When I attempt to boot off the HD, I get the following message. MBR L 07 07 07 07 07 . and so on forever. If I hold down space during boot, I get the

Debian install on the Ricoh g1200s

As if like isn't hard enough, I've gone and bought a g1200s and am trying to put linux on it. For those of you who aren't familiar with this machine, it's a tablet computer with a pcmcia hard drive and a cdrom. I can plug in a keyboard and mouse for the setup procedure, but my eventual goal
