But if there's no choice, I'll download potato.

What slink release did you download? The 0.16X will probably be in 2.1r5
(newest slink-release), in older ones the version might be older.
A list of packages in potato will probably be available from every mirror

Have no idea if this is the problem, but, have you compared the version

There is nothing in the /var/lock after a clean reboot. Also, if I drop back
to the old 2.0.36 kernel, the problem clears. This is very perplexing since my
other 3 linux boxes are all running the same type of setup (potato/2.2.14).
Any other ideas?

Hi All,
It seems to me that potato would support the latest jdk1.2.2
better than slink and I'm also need the use of jdk1.2.2 as

In this case, I'll go for potato from hamm. Well, I just need

The thing is that various partitioning schemes suggest having one small
disk for the boot system and a larger one for the other stuff. The install
process creates these as / and /usr.
So /var, which can be a hog, ends up on the little partition.
In the past I've used a symlink to get around this,

You could remove the "xdm" entirely or, because you might want to
Starting with slink (Debian 2.1), if the xdm package is installed, you

the simplest/cleanest way is to just uninstall the xdm package:

Based on my own limited experience. 2.0.3x->2.3.28 work fine with
Slink. Of course my machines arn't heavily loaded or specialized, so there

I haven't gotten around to doing that yet, but I have done some investigating.
You need to update a few packages. There is some documentation at the debian
website
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/running-kernel-2.2
It does not mention ppp but I think that also needs to be updated.

Try adding the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.debian.org/~vincent xfree-update main
Then "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" and you will get the
XFree86 3.3.5 update for slink.

SMP support has to be compiled into whatever kernel you use, though i

if you cd to potato you will get to unstable.

a directory named stable, and a directory named potato and al
