Hello all. I have successfully installed Debian 2.2 Potato on an IBM F50 with 4 cpus. Unfortunatly, I need to recompile the kernel to support SMP, and among other things, MSDOS filesystem. I have had a rough time trying to
get a kernel to compile (using source for 2.2.17) and I was hoping maybe someone had some tips for me as to which kernels are best suited for this machine, etc. I've also been trying to get a decent window manager installed for X. I would prefer KDE, but when I try to "apt-get install kdebase", I am told that kdebase has a broken dependency for "rman" (reverse man pages builder I believe) and that the package is not installable b/c rman has no installation candidate. Finally, console-apt won't install because libapt-pkg2.6 is unavailable. I *really* like capt, so that's just sort of on the wish list. If anyone can aid me to resolve any of these problems, I'd be quite very obliged. Thanks as always, Matt
