2.0.36 kernel works great. (has a rtl8139 module)
i wish i knew why O'Reilley (sp?) chose 2.2.12 to be the default

ISO) defaults to 2.0.36(i believe)
btw besides this minor hiccup that book/cd combo rules. even tho i know

curious as to why there was no realtek 8139 driver included in slink. and
it doesnt appear as an option in the kernel that slink comes with (2.2.12

rtl8139.c file is there(it failed to compile as a module for some reason)

21040/21041/21140 are tulip series chips. of course maybe 2114 is not the
same as 21140 if its not then sorry :) (got that info from the help
section of the 2.0.36 configuration)
btw eth0 will not be in /dev so dont be suprised if
what kernel are u running ? 2.2.11 and 2.2.12 both have pretty bad memory

i may be wrong but i think the esound daemon does this, not though in the
way you say.
i believe, apps send the output of the audio to the daemon and the daemon
opens /dev/dsp and outputs it there. any number of apps can talk to the
daemon and the daemon can/will output sound from multiple source
try this:
dpkg -S /usr/bin
it spitsout a screenfull of packages for that dir.
never tried that before, that rules dpkg can do that.

best way is to make a script
slap the script in /etc/init.d
put a link to it in /etc/rc?.d
where ? = runlevel (runlevel 2 is defailt for debian so /etc/rc2.d )
make sure to chmod +x the script
name the link according to how you want it to start as it reads the files
in order. if you don't care
