I hope the pointer to the matching priorities on the two different repositories was a helpful hint. -- The Wanderer Yes... i suppose that explains the behavior.  Except this seems to mean that setting APT::Default-Release "stable" in apt.conf has no effect. Before my previous installation

I just installed Bullseye after -- as a long-time Debian user -- having had my hard drive corrupted by USB devices. I used to run testing, so i thought i would get there, but first i wanted to install the apps i wanted, get things working, and then migrate to testing. During the install, i also

How is my network-card module getting loaded?

2002-04-09 Thread Craig Duncan
I've been running a 2.2.19 kernel for a while (every brief foray into 2.4 land caused me to immediately go back to 2.2). Once again, i'm giving it a try, though (2.4.18). I booted into it and there's no module loaded for my network card (which i didn't even remember what it was). So, while in 2.

You need to have APM support in the kernel or loaded as a module before there could be any hope of enabling it. The kernel option to enable APM at boot sounds like it does the same thing as the lilo line. Try it and see if it works. :-) > craig> Do you have the following in your lilo.conf? >

I already have rsh-client package installed, which provides rsh, rcp & rlogin. That's a thought, though. I'll take a look at the postinstall script and see if reconfiguring is all that's needed. Frederico.S.Muñoz wrote: > > > -Original Message- > >
