Thanks for the info. I decided to try and do a regular debian 3.0.1 on that machine and it went quite well. The problem arose when i tried to cennect it to the net . I have an ADSL gateway in my home and when i tried to configure the /etc/gateways file for the new machine to know where to go - it doen't seem to except any format I give it - i'm trying to reach the iglu site in order to apt-get the newer files. example : " net iglu.org.il gateway 1external " -gateway is defined in /etc/hosts
I get an error message of not been able to resolve the server ( i tried supplying an IP addrress but that failed too. I read the man pages for the gateways file and googled for it to - but nothing i seem to do helps . Any ideas ?
