Hello folks, I have two questions. Firstly, I've tried to recompile a newer 2.4-pre kernel, and have had minimal success. I'm mostly trying to get USB support enabled because my only internet comes through a USB ethernet device by D-Link. Unfortunately, my PCMCIA cardbus controller completely died out a few months back, and isn't under warranty. I've had to resort to my windows partition, which is less than ideal :)
I seek some ideas because I think there are other ways to get USB support but I don't really know. Secondly, I'm thinking about buying a new harddrive, maybe 10 gigs. I'd rather not go through installation and etc. of debian again, and windows.. it takes a while as we all know and customization never ends. My idea is to transfer the entire filesystem to another computer and burn cds of my stuff (current hd only 3 gigs..). Does anybody think this is feasible? Any ideas about actually pulling it off .. If i'm using my USB ethernet, which I only have in Windows, my linux partition will be inaccessible. I'm not sure how to get around that easily. Thanks for your help. /caa
