question: kernel-patch
Hi, just a question: Does the kernel of debian-amd64 offer a way, to patch it, without the need to rebuild the whole kernel? I want to patch it with tuxonice and debianlogo, but if I understood it correctly, a kernel-patch forces a rebuild of the whole kernel. Is this correct, or is there a way for those two patches to do it without rebuilding? Regards Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Printing messed up... Sid/CUPS
I'm posting this in amd64 now, as no response has yet come from the user list, and there is at least a small chance someone here might know an answer... ?? Thanks! -- Somewhere in the last few updates of my Sid system I noticed that print jobs in process get lost if another job comes along behind it, whether from my own machine or another one on the LAN. I have an HP 1200 (parallel) and use this machine as the CUPS server. A current job of 4 pages might print 2, then the new job will come out and the rest of the pages will be lost. I don't recall this ever happening before so am at a loss about its cause. I don't see any error messages in the CUPS log relating to this, either. I also recently upgraded my home-rolled kernel to version 2.6.29 if that might have an effect. I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything related to this but... Anyone have an idea what might have happened? Is there a permissions thing going on, perhaps?

Re: Debian AMD64 resuce disk??
Thanks Doug, Good to know. The INSERT disk was pretty current but maybe I needed a different version of rescue disk. Anyway, Ill keep that in mind. Again, thanks. Whit Douglas A.
