i am no expert on debian or on older kernels, however i am finding it extrememely useful to have a backup mirror the last few weeks especially specifically to debian.ftp.
i am currently having good luck with oregonstate. debian-etch, kernel2.6.16-2, powerbook pismo g4 upgrade. ____ have you tried the sarge kernels 2.6.8, i believe that officially 2.4 support is plan to be drop in etch. my old worlds seeming to having trouble with latest kernels so i may have to go this route... (have two running sarge with 2.6.8 now ...) --- Rich Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Aug 10, 2006, at 12:15 PM, jacob wrote: > > > On Thu, Aug 10, 2006 at 08:49:14AM -0400, Rich > Johnson wrote: > >> HI folks-- > >> > > > >> cmd>apt-get install --reinstall --fix-missing > debconf > >> Reading package lists...
