Kernel panic; help!

Hi all, Some days ago I was playing with noflushd/apmd and such things, and I got a kernel panic. I rebooted. Debian was completly a mess, complaining about libncurses5 was failing. I need to remove /bin/sh and link it to ash to be able to boot. Then, I reinstalled libncurses5 and at last I was ab

kernel 2.4.0

Hi all, does the 2.4 kernel will work without problems on potato? I think modutils should be updated and some other things from woody, though. Isn't it ? Thanks! -- Do you really think win is easy to use? --- Juli-Manel Merino Vidal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Redhat faster than Debian??

Hi all, I've just installed RedHat because my Debian installation crashed (kernel panic) and I needed to repair it from another working system... Well, I've already removed RedHat (really don't like it) but when I used it I noticed something I didn't like... I started emacs for first time and app

OT: shell prompt tip

Hi all, NOTE that this is OFFTOPIC. would you like to recognize fastly if you're a normal user or root? Change the default debian PS1 to something like this for your user: PS1='\[\e[22m\e[40m\e[32m\]\h:\w\$\[\e[22m\e[40m\e[37m\] ' and for the user root change the 32 to 31. Just easy ;-) B

Congratulations

Hi all, I've finished downloading the 2.2 base system and I'm really happy about the installation method! Congratulations to all the developers. I liked how it let me to setup the ppp connection from it, and how it is automated to setup apt! Just to say this ;-) Bye! -- Do you really think wi

I'm getting the same errors (not identically) to you, but with the difference that my system doesn't hungs. I think this has happened since when I upgraded gnumach and hurd packages (but installing everything from scratch)... I still have to recompile gnumach for myself and try it. Hurd also gives

Maybe all your floppies have phisical errors... hey, that could happen, it happened to me. Try to buy new floppy disks. If this don't work, try to clean the floppy drive; get it out of the laptop and clean it internally (BE CAREFUL). If this doesn't solve the problem, I could say yo to buy a new o

Old packages between upgrades

Hi all, I have a question about upgrading the system. When I upgraded some time ago from slink to potato and then woody, I had a package, ncurses3.4 installed on the system... This package is old, but it's not replaced with libncurses4 or libncurses5. So, I simply erased it without any dependenc

I've setup everybuddy with an ICQ, AIM and Yahoo Messenger accounts, each of these working right. But I noticed that the Yahoo one was going really bad. In everybuddy, where it expects you to put the screen name for ICQ, you should put the UIN, and that should be enought. And about AIM, I guess i
