Adding a second hard drive

2002-02-08 Thread Patrick Kirk
Hi all, I have a second hard drive installed and in the Dell BIOS its seen as a 40 Gig hard drive which is correct. The system runs Debian Woody with kernel 2.4.17 When I try to partition the second hard drive using cf disk, all I see is the first hda drive...no sign at all of the second.

Re: console-common and an unwanted amiga keymap

2002-02-01 Thread Patrick Kirk
Hi all, Fixed this odd problem by finding the postinst file for console-common, removing references to a perl script and then replacing them with install-keymaps ...uk.gz. Its s strange bug...perhaps I hit the wrong key diring another apt-get upgrade but I never knowingly touched my keymaps.
