Pardon if this message looks strange. I've just loaded Ximian and am testing Evolution.
IIRC, when you install Debian, you get "kernel of the day" which does not automagically upgrade with apt-get or dselect, so you have to manually upgrade the kernel. Also means that if you want to have a single CD with relevant packages on it, there will be a lot of them. Unfort, I think you're better off just saying "get pcmcia-cs for your kernel". If you've got a laptop, odds are the package is loaded already and it's just a matter of configuration, which would be the same as for any other distro. -Mark On Tue, 2002-02-26 at 00:02, Benjamin Scott wrote: > Hello list, > > As some of you may know, this Wednesday, we are going to be trying a > hands-on, interactive meeting [1].
