Is that 'lba32' option supposed to allow booting a kernel that is
located after the 1024th cylinder? I always thought that was a BIOS
limitation, not a LILO one.
I can't use LILO for booting anyways because my BIOS doesn't allow
booting off the second IDE bus. LILO hangs at "LI" when booting.
I had similar problems with that 8bit problem with my deb 2.1 with diald...
I fixed it with /ppp/options, the setting crtscts, or xonxoff I believe..
try settings these on/off see what it gives you... I'm sorry I cant
remember more about it. (if I remember correctly its like local echo, if

Good evening,
With the risk of me repeter I like Debian but it is necessary well to
acknowledge which one has as handicap the fact that when a release comes
out, one is always late of a war compared to redhat and others on the
freshness of the packages.
I believed to understand that there was pre

I find it much easier to mess with the initscript with the
update-rc.d script.
To remove for example xdm from the initscript you enter:
'update-rc.d xdm remove'
If do do that, then xdm wont start from init any more.
I dont know the exact command but you can do it the other way to, that is,

No, it should be:

And don't forget to make the "Packages" file in that directory (with
