Install the 'discover' package before you try to manually load drivers:

This package autodetects most hardware and loads drivers as appropriate.

Install a recent complete kernel package:
# apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386
This kernel package has netatalk support. The netatalk deamons should
start without problems if you are running this kernel.
The BF kernels do not always have everything that you might need.

You need to install a print filter, which is much like a print driver

If your computer runs Windows 98 and Knoppix properly, then your Debian

LILO does not automatically maintain the MBR on disks that are part of a
RAID-1 array that are contained within partitions.
You can make your secondary disk bootable by doing this...
1. Open the '/etc/lilo.conf' file and change "boot=/dev/hde1" to
"boot=/dev/md0". This tells LILO to install it

Read the History of BIOS and IDE limits at:

gigabytes.
If the BIOS has a size limit, then you must install the boot

In this case, you probably want /dev/sda2 to appear before /dev/sda1 in
