libc6 or libc5???

OK to remove libc5? I'm assuming I have the latest versions of the apps that need libc5 in the new dist and that they depend on libc6. Is this the case?    Tom Persons

Re: load fail

1999-02-01 Thread Tom Persons
Typically this means that you have a bad rescue disk. Iv'e heard of some people needing to make three or four rescue disks before they could get one to work. Personally, I had no problems with my first disk, but I haer that this is the first thing to try when you are having load problems.

AGP Suppot

1999-01-12 Thread Tom Persons
Does anyone know if Debian/XWindows supports the AGP slot? I have a Diamond Fire GL Pro 1000 and this card is not listed when I go to set up X Windows. I have to choose "Unsupported VGA" and the resolution on this setting sucks Also, it causes the screen to be shifted about 1.5 cm to th

Cool, I'm glad to hear that I will have dial up support, and your right I think I did make a mistake somewhere during the initial installation. I'm going to start from scratch and see how it goes. I have an Advansys SCSI card (i can't remember the model # but it is comparable with the Adaptec 2940)

Actually, if you check an earlier post someone responded with the address of a site that mirrors this list. But your right, that many e-mail's at 28.8 or lower can take quite awhile. On the flip side a 56K modem goes for under $100 now and I've seen some on sale for as low as $30. Seems a small pri

Maybe I missed something but why is this even an issue? I have configured my mail client (in windows for the time being) to route all debian-user mail to a seperate folder. Sure it can be cumbersome to wait for a couple hundred e-mails to download but with a 56K connection I can surf or do whatever

Richard, Thanks for the info, I'm hopeing for the best!! I'm not connected to a LAN however, so I'm wondering if Linux has dial up support. From what I can tell it doesn't appear so. Is there a way I can download from windows then somehow "see" these files while running linux? The reason CDROM s
