My problems came up before I could have run these package managers with any good results at all! I had no network functionality because the net modules wouldn't load; nor any other modules from what I could tell. I've about concluded the only to get a compatable kernel with debian and its modules is to compile the kernel on an existing debian machine. Think that might be the case? Even when I used debian's kernel config file as a base I ran into the module unresolved symbol problems. On Wed, Aug 14, 2002 at 01:42:32PM -0500, Kenny Hitt wrote: > Hi.
