Hello,
I seem to have a small, and mysterious problem.
I am running Sid with XFree86 4.0.3-3 on Linux 2.4.4. My
predicament, you see, is that my X server seems to hang the machine
whenever it fancies. I have maximum uptimes of about 15 to 20 minutes
of usage. If I don't touch
The 905C support was broken in 2.2.18pre21, which ships with potato.
The best way to fix that is via a new kernel, but that may be messy
to get on the new machine without the network.

I'm not sure if stable (potato) has much support for Radeon
cards, but I definitely know that unstable (sid) does. IIRC, Radeon

Hi there,
If you have the iproute pack
Better than that. For an instant fix, just make the terminal display
Ctrl-O. The easiest way is to type run 'echo Ctrl-V Ctrl-O' which will
make the terminal reset itself.

It's more like NT, but it matters not. You can still use LILO to boot, if
you're more comfortable with that. Otherwise, do that NT bootloader thing,
but that requires you to copy over the bootsector to your NT drive everytime
you upgrade your kernel.

Hi Daniel,
I've done exactly what you have on an old 486. What you DO need is a floppy
drive and an internet connexion. An old external modem should do the trick.
Go to your local debian mirror and find the floppies. You should be able to
get potato boot disks at:
ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dist
Argh, no! Well, okay, you COULD do that, but then you'd be wasting the
efforts of the kernel-package maintainer...
Do an apt-get install kernel-package kernel-source bin86
Then chdir /usr/doc/kernel-package
Read the README.Debian

IIRC, there used to be a free beer version of M/IX for Windows, but as of

Grab a recent copy of lilo (in the 21-x series). This includes support
