Aha, I did *not* have module-init
Hi all,
When custom compiling kernel 2.6.3, I got all these depmod *** notices:
depmod: *** Unresolved sybmols in /lib/modules/2.6.3.20040305-orca
/kernel/drivers/acpi/thermal.ko
I read 'man depmod' and don't understand whether all this depmod output
means my kernel install went well or badly.

Elvis, I would reply something about 'debian jr.' being a set of children's
packages that you can select in 'tasksel', but my ISP doesn't like me sending

Hi all,
I am trying to set up bootable root Software RAID1 and the How Tos I have
found tell me I need RAID compiled *into* the Kernel, not added as a module,
and that RAID support is part of recent kernels. I am unclear which kernels

Hi guys,
I am following software RAID1 installation instructions posted to debian-user
in August of last year. I find problems with his instructions as I progress,
and have finally gotten stuck, see "STUCK HERE" bellow.
Any suggestions where to find good software RAID1 install instructions?

Hi guys,
Is it *normal* for 151 packages to be held back
and only 28 upgraded
when upgrading Woody[1] to Sarge?
I did[2],
rhc:/etc/apt# vi sources.list
rhc:/etc/apt# apt-get upgrade
rhc:/etc/apt# apt-get update
Did I do the upgrade incorrectly?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have Postgress installed from Testing.
Today I tried to install MySQL from testing and got this error:
Package mysql is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

RAID 1 is one strategy for getting 'faster' read going.
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Devices (RAID) comes in various flavors.
RAID 1 is a flavor where you take two disks of the same size and have the
computer treat them as one disk. The computer mirrors the identical data onto

- 16bit color
which Gnome had no problem with.

Debian (installed from the 7 Woody CDs which I downloaded and burned using my

Debian seems not to.
Is there hope of getting Debian to recognize my onboard Ethernet? Or should I
