Hi.
I tried the Realtek 8139 driver with no parameters and unfortunetely i got
the "device busy" error. Please note that I am INSTALLING Debian and
therefore i can't compile drivers (well maybe) or use kernel 2.4. Well I

File sharing, sure, it works with my 2k box now, but I heard that it uses
legacy auth stuff.

Perhaps the problem is that you are trying to access an IDE device
(/dev/hdc or whatever your CD-ROM drive is) as a normal user that is not
part of the disk group? Try adding yourself to disk, and see if that
helps.

An IDE zip drive acts more like a hard drive than a floppy drive; It
follows the same drive scheme as IDE cdroms or hard drives - e.g.
Primary master drive is /dev/hda, secondary master is /dev/hdc..

On the other hand try "parted". It's a utility with pretty much the same

Please direct questions like this to debian-user.
