This is probably a terrible, klutzy, inept thing to do--but
I had a similar problem with unstable a bit ago, and after a
few days I just let it have its head, uninstall what it liked,
and I just kept track of the packages and re-installed the. Then
it worked fine.
There it is, FWIW.

I'm running Debian unstable with the 2.4.12 kernel currently,
and have been trying to make a custom kernel package of the
2.4.14 kernel to use to upgrade (and for installation elsewhere).
I used the make-kpkg command provided by the Debian package
kernel-package to make the kernel I'm using now, an

I've been looking at a program called Mondo which does most
of what you're talking about (and can span CD's, if one isn't
big enough, &c.). The homepage is

Try copying the .deb packages from /var/cache/apt/archives
onto the other machine in the same location. Then if
you're using apt-get to upgrade, it should see them there
automatically. It should tell you when you're about to
upgrade that it needs to get 0Kb of data or something.
Er, I think that m
I think they're the same thing--I've never had any trouble writing either kind
to CD's using cdrecord. Well, maybe "never" is a little strong, but you get
the idea : ).
If for some reason your software requires a .iso extension, I think
you can just rename the file. But I doubt it's necessary.

I could be wrong (it's happened before) but I think that in the
newer version of X, XF86Setup has kind of been retired--I haven't
seen it, anyway. There are several other options for X configuration

I don't know). You can tr
You might start by checking the permissions of /dev/dsp
(something like ls -al /dev/dsp might do the trick).
It probably belongs to user root and group audio. If
the permissions are rw-rw, then only user root and
group audio can write to /dev/dsp (play sounds) or read from

I've been told that if the kernel's not somewhere near the beginning of
the disk (in the first gig? that's just a guess), LILO can have trouble
seeing it. Sometimes people make a separate partition to mount /boot on
and put it near the front of the disk to solve this problem.
