Hi all,
I recently installed debian woody from CD-ROM images I downloaded a year or two ago on my Toshibe laptop (2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel). During the install the system said that I didn't need the PCMCIA packages and asked if I wanted to uninstall them, so I did... Well, no surprise, the PCMCIA support wasn't installed. I installed pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules-2.4.18-bf2.4 and everything worked fine. So I added the network install locations to sources.list and continued with installation from there. At some point during this process, pcmcia-modules-* went away (very inconvenient since my network card is a PCMCIA card). I tried to install pcmcia-modules from the CD-ROM again, but it complained about an incomatibility with the kernel. So I used dpkg to install the older kernel package from the CD-ROM, then reinstalled pcmcia-modules-* for it. So the system is fine now, but when I tried apt-get update/dist-upgrade the only thing it wants to do is uninstall pcmcia-modules-* without installing a new version, which is very much NOT what I want to happen. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Was this package replaced with something else? ============================================================================= michaelMuller = [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.mindhog.net/~mmuller ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams - Arthur O'Shaughnessy ============================================================================= -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
