Problems.

2000-09-27 Thread DanSV
Howdy Folks. In case your just tuning in, I got some odd problems with my linux box. I run libranet/debian 2.2 (potato). Two problems: I have a linksys etherfast 10/100. Doesn't work, tried tulip, tulip.old, generic, nothing works. I have a pc-100 m598 motherboard. It has sound onboard,

Is debian set to use cd-rw from the install? (IE. Do you need to simply install the necessary packages, or re-compile the kernal?) - Dan

2000-01-17 Thread DanSV
What have you heard of the libranet distribution? Is it pure debian? A good dist. for newbies, or should you just go with the debian dist? - Dan

System Slows Down

2003-03-26 Thread DanSV
Hey, I just installed debian 3.0, upgraded to testing, put on a custom 2.4.20 kernel, with nvidia-glx all up and running, and I am almost all set. One thing though. Every so often, things will slow to a CRAWL, and then poof, go back to normal. WHAT IS THIS? How can I stop it? Whatever clever

Progeny vs. Libranet vs Pure Debian.

2001-08-23 Thread DanSV
I was wondering what the best way to install and then maintain debian is. I have tried libranet, but not progeny or just pure debian (beyond 2.1 that is). I want a simple install, and hard-ware recognition on the level of mandrake (they say they can get 3D support with an ati rage128 (2000),

XF 4.0 PROBLEMS

Howdy. Seems I have a small problem. XF 4.0 won;t run on my machine. apt-get dist-upgrade does nothing (I am currently listed as woody, yet my sources.list points to stable, unless I am trying to install X of course ;) I have an ATI Xpert 2000. Here is the output once I install

I fixed my problem with X. I contacted libranet, and they gave me a setup util for use with potato. I forgot the url, but I'm sure if you folks e-mail them, they will give it out (if not, please tell me). (in case you were wondering about their distro, the support is sometimes just plain
