 Hi Roger.

Hi, Jeronimo.

  Don't use that site. Use ftp://ftp.xx.kernel.org/ instead
  (where xx is your country code) to let the community mirror it
  faster.
  In the same way, don't use ftp.debian.org. Use some mirror
  like ftp.xx.debian.org.
 
 BTW, have you had any success acceessing {http|ftp}.br.debian.org? I
 tried the Brazilian mirrors several times a few months ago and gave
 up...

Indeed the mirrors are not working because the Brazilian
mirror had a disk crash (the mirror is one of the computers
at the Physics Institute of USP and they've been having
problems with their power plant and now that it is solved,
with bureaucracy).

And it appears that it won't be usable any time soon. :-(

 What's the best option for us, in case the .br.debian really doesn't
 work?

I've been using the US mirrors. Since http.us.debian.org is
not just one machine (half a dozen or so), if you have
problems downloading from the site (like slow connection),
just disconnect and try again. apt will probably use another
mirror.

That said, sometimes I've had better luck with the us.debian
sites than with br.debian when it was operational.

 thanks!
 
 J.

You're welcome, friend!

Humm... Sorry... I wasn't refering to kernels from Debian
(and, to be honest, I don't use them), so I really don't know
(I only use stock kernels from Linus/Alan with a select set of
patches applied by hand like André Hedrick's and Reiser FS).

But thank you for your information. I guess that I'll have a
closer look to the ones distributed by Debian.

 From what I've read, 2.2.16 was kinda rushed, and 2.2.17 (once out
 of Pre) will be considered the better way to go.

Indeed. Alan Cox even talks about 2.2.17pre having better
stability than 2.2.16.

Kernel Source Code [New User]

2000-07-04 Thread Shel Johnson 
I'm attempting to recompile the kernel for my NIC.. For me to do that, I
need to make sure that the kernel source code is included.. I'm running
Storm Linux 2000.. Can anyone tell me where I'm supposed to look for
it??.. THX...

I'm guessing the source is on your disk but you can get kernels from --
http://www.kernel.org/  if I remember right there are some security
issues with 2.2.14 so you should get a more recent kernel than that.  I
think 2.2.16 is fixed.

It is included.  It is part of the kernel-source* package.  Use
your package manager to install it, then go to /usr/src and take
a look.

Actually, 2.2.15 also has the vulnerability. So 2.2.16 is
indeed recommended.
