I have been granted the parts to build four machines for a GNU/linux network in my classroom at Marianas High School. One of the machine is built up from rather up-to-date parts, and I'm having/anticipating some trouble getting it all to work together.
I am installing Debian stable for now. This list has been helpful in the past, so I am trying here first. I posted when I was planning this network, at least two years ago. It is now an actuality. 3Com/USR 2977 PCI modem. ======================== I would like to hear from anyone who has one of these running under Debian. On the Inet is found a page describing installation on Mandrake/RedHat boxes. Precious little is found in a google or altavista search on setting this modem up on a GNU/Linux system. Matrox G450 =========== Will this card even run XFree86 3.X (Debian "2.2" on the CD)? I need to get it together, then upgrade. So far, the screen locks up. Where can I find good reading on this? Is the Matrox driver the way to go? Adaptec 19160 SCSI adapter ========================== Is there something I should know? I can install Debian, but cannot boot the system from the SCSI drive. Are there some parameters for this? Thanks for any help Alan Davis Marianas High School Science Department -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1-670-235-6580 Alan E.
