I haven't had experience with those programs, but they may show some
results, i reccomend Microscope 7, but it is about $300 or
since debian is a non profit organization it is not likely you will find
training from debian themselves.
there are plenty of linux certification courses out there though, debian
isn't much more then basic linux, debian specifics can be learned rather
quickly once you get a hold on linux in
you can try to force install the packages but chances are it will not work
because of the differences in glibc2.0 vs 2.1

i have rt8139 card in a caldera box and a eepro100 in a debian box on a
10/100 switch, and i get about 3.4MB/s, i am quite confident the
bottleneck is the IDE drive on the caldera box in my case.
upgrade *both* drivers, grab the latest from nasa's site(forgot the
the file you probably want is /etc/X11/XF86Config

i believe there is variatns for the 286, but cant imagine there being any
for the 8088 and 8086 there just isn't enough memory to do anything useful
on those machines. i remember my 286 had 4MB of ram, combined with swap
it could do some stuff in linux im sure(never tried)
minix was probably 386

is that what is in the file? note the extra 0 in there .. if all else
fails you can try a manual insmod ne.o io=0x280 irq=5 and set that up to
load in /etc/init.d/network (i never really touched the /etc/modules file
until
make sure the cdrom is on /dev/hdc
type 'mount' to see existing mounts, something may be mounted on /cdrom
use dmesg | more to see where the cdrom is.

photiu Hi All. Can anyone help with this? I get the message
photiu /devhdc already mounted
however unlikely did you try setting the date back before the year2000
? one of my friend's computers had a similar problem(although not as
severe) and when he set the clock back it was ok, i have a
486DX4-100(rather new ~1995) and sofar it hasnt experienced any problems.
have you done anything
is that message you get in debian? on my debian machines e2fsck will
*automatically* run when they have been mounted too many times..it will
say something like
/dev/sda1 exceeded maximum mount count check forced..
