Ahh, I just needed to hear "Debian." Yes, the updates are not developed for Debian. Maybe you could put what you've found into some kind of table, which work and don't work on Debian, and steps needed. Other people could provide what they have got working. I could help out with ideas on the ones that your having trouble with. -Jeff _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
