While worming through the pages I found a reference to
a compact verison of Debian installation that was
designed to work on a 486. I have not been able to
find the link since, after 3 days of looking. Is there
anyone that can direct me to the site where I can get

When the user starts an app such as a mail client or web browser I need to
ask if an internet connection is wanted or not.
If yes, then it needs to invoke something like pon or wvdial to make the

On a Woody system 2.4 series kernel.
modprobe apm
the module installs and is in the lsmod list but does not persist through a
