Chris-- There's an ftp on my system, and I can connect with "ftp
debian.org" or "ftp sunsite.unc.edu" or other sites as well, but entering
"ftp netscape.com" results in "Connection refused", while "ftp
ftp3.netscape.com" gets "hostname lookup failure." Thanks. -- Max

Yes, I do. It reads:

Before I removed Exim it read the same except: /usr/sbin/exim exim -b
There should be an NNTP line as well, but wasn't. I added:

John-- I've tried to find navigator-smotif-45 thru ftp debian.org, but
without success. I did find one non-free directory, but navigator wasn't

either. Thanks anyway.-- Max

Greetings all-- Chapter 2 in my riveting saga.
It seems that Debian 2.1.8 does not support the Diamond Supra 288i
SP modem-- at least not mine. After two weeks of trying to get the OS to
detect the damned thing, I gave up and replaced it with a scrounged-up
Sportster 28800. Viola! Instant
To All: Btw, I finally did get my Debian 2.1.8 to re-install. It was,
as some of you suggested, a problem involving the proper initialization
and mounting of dev/hda5. It seems that when you have another OS on hda1
(DOS drive C; bootable), as I do, and three Linux partitions with only
hda2 (root
To all-- I have a Diamond Supra 288i SP modem in a ISA motherboard, and
my Debian 2.1.8 system won't detect it. Specifically:
1) If I run ./0setserial, it says-- Cannot autoconfigure port.

To All-- Thanks for the feedback, and my sincere congratulations to those
of you who've mastered the intricacies of Debian. For years I've been
hoping to find an OS that would get me out of Windows, and I had high
hopes Linux might be it, but all I have to show for scores of hours is

FTI-- After three weeks of fruitlessly working with Debian 2.1, I have
come to this conclusion: Debian is free because it's WORTHLESS! It
won't drive your printer, it won't detect your modem, the documentation
is incomplete, out of date, or simply wrong, and the installation
procedure has more b

I've installed (finally!) Debian 2.1 on an 486 w\a VESA ISA
motherboard & a 16450 UART serial card (I think). Now, unhappily, Slink
will not detect my modem, a Diamond Supra 288i SP, which previously
worked just fine on Windows.
