Well I got the new Debian Woody up(well that is it is the eight disk CD set marked Debian Woody May 02 realease). I just got it for $28 from CheapBytes...and wouldn't you know it...they release Woody 3 the next day....sigh.
I don't know where to start... I'm a complete RedHatter from way back... Where is the source for the kernel? I guess I'll search each Cd and find the deb packages...do I need anything other than the kernel source, and the header files....I assume they will be different .deb's I already HATE dselect. It's cryptic.... Anyway...I kept my RH7.3 install on the main disk...so now I can choose either from the GRUB loader.... I need the 2.2 kernel because of a VMWARE issue....:) So I'll be slowly bringing the sys up... It's UP now....with Xwindows, sound, modem, eth0, etc. I just need to recompile this vanilla kernel. That reminds me !! In Red Hat there is a command line util called "setup" that allows you to control services...how do I control services in debian Woody? I can tell I'm loading WAY too many services.... Thanks...Daniel
