hello, I am replying to the first post in response I think, as that's the top of the thread for me. Anyway, it was udev, and I just replaced it with hotplug. More and more things seem to be breaiking with debian lately, now bash requires udev for completion if you upgrade bash, but udev isn't a required package. There's a ln hack you can use, but it seems like packages aren't coming with the proper dependencies. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I personally didn't mind udev--until it decided to rename nic interfaces, anyway. That broke a lot of scripts from startup and others. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 12:53 PM Subject: Re: eth0 not recognized:school system > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 09:07:33AM -0700, Tyler Littlefield wrote: >> I'm trying to set up a linux system here at school at my lab station, and >> am using a cross over. > > Doesn't your school have an I/T department for doing that kind of > stuff, or are they for windows only, or is setting up a gnu/linux > system part of a course you're taking? > >> I installed linux and all that, > > "All that" isn't informative enough.
