Hi, I strongly suggest not using the Shane Etch kernel. It has known security flaws and has not been updated in over a year. That's one of the reasons why I built the 2.6.24 kernel packages. Since you're already running unstable, there's no reason not to upgrade to my kernel packages. I suppose if you're the only user of the machine the security issues don't matter as much, but still a malicious program could take advantage of them. Look at http://security.debian.org/ and read the advisories for the kernel. Maybe Shane has an apt repository that I don't know about which contains fixed kernels but I doubt it and have never seen an url for it other than his directory on people.debian.org. I did have it set to beep when it gets to the login prompt but that no longer seems to be working. I had a major hassle with udev and getting rid of grml junk and somehow /etc/rc.local no longer seems to be working as it should. I like the idea of putting a beep command at the point that it switches out of read only mode but I don't know when that happens. I could put a script in /etc/init.d to do that but I think mounting and fsck happen before init starts. Again, here are the urls for my kernel packages: http://baechler.net.nyud.net/debian/ http://baechler.net/debian/ if the above doesn't work All feedback on the kernel packages would be appreciated.
