Or, I suppose, default debian kernel configuration. After being away from Debian for quite a while, deceded to give the apt-get system a try. Loaded it onto my Toshiba (Sattelite something, 266 mhz). Downloaded boot(rescue) and root disks, plugged in PCMCIA ethernet card, plugged into DSL and booted up.
<sound of gigantic slurping as it sucked the wires dry> Excellent! Clean install, and 'apt-get install' is great for the overlooked things. No more 'install it just in case' -- leave it off and install it only if you need it!! Looks like a minimal system will grow over time to be comfortable. -- now if there was only a pruning function that would deinstall packages I haven't used in 6 months... My problem: The kernel comes without APM support. OK -- compile one in. Trivial, yes? Compiled kernels (multiple tries from Debian 2.2.17 source package) all seem to fail on boot -- seems like it can't find disk /dev/hda !!! Haven't tried one without APM, but have tried compiling file system support in kernel and in modules. (several combinations) Has anyone had this problem? More important, has anyone a suggestion or solution? Thanks, Morgan Morgan Hall Wilsonville, Oregon ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
