Debian 2.0 Installation halts (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 11:40:59 +0200 From: Remo Badii <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Debian 2.0 Installation halts Dear Debian user, I have been using S.u.S.E. Linux 4.2 for 2 years and today I tried to install Debian 2.0 from CDs (CS-Software, Christian Schwarz) on my Thinkpad 760 CD, with 40 MB RAM and a new 2.1 GB hard disk on which I just created a 102 MB partition with DOS on it. DOS works, as well as CD support, Modem, etc. When I start boot.bat from D:, however, Loadlin works but soon says Uncompressing Linux... ran out of input data System halted and I can only switch off the machine. I noticed that the file ltecra must be passed to loadlin.exe instead of linux for Tecra notebooks and, as mentioned in readme-t, for "other notebooks" (because of a patch to 2.0.33). Hence, I copied boot.bat to my hard disk, inserted the line D: before CD BOOT and changed the last line to LOADLIN.EXE LTECRA ... Now I got the message A20 gating failed and everything blocked. Any clue? Thank you.

Re: Debian FTP Installation through Internet (fwd)
Can somebody help this guy. Problem is that pppd tells him that kernel lacks PPP support - I told him that he should recompile the kernel but seems like it didn't work. I think I remember that there was some other reason that pppd would act that way. -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 30 May 1997 21:35:47 -0600 From: Dustin Withers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Boris D.

NT authentication drama
Hello, Here at Institute of Computer Science we have large network of Unites and some NT's for the first year. The problem with nt is that the authentication process may be done only from nt server - we don't want that. We are looking for some kind (ANY kind) of software that can do authentication from nt to Unix (the unix part should come with sources because after all we want to port it to work with our authentication server).

Who needs all the other 1200.bin stuff? Who would use 1200 disks if
they have 1400 drive? IMHO, all the 1200 should be removed or there
should be a resq1200.bin (or resq1200.1 and resq1200.2).
