Installing Debian

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi

What is the kernel version used?  I'm sure that it said that it was 2.2.17
but modprobe is looking for modules in 2.2.18.

Cheers.

Hi, how's it going? Um, when I made the debian install disks a few weeks ago
I was told that there were some module dependancies that were messed up and
the pcmcia modules needed to be recompiled for everything to work.
Um, Matt fixed the drivers.tgz file, but the drivers-udma66.tgz file was
never fixed, neither were the floppy images.
Hey Matt, can you tell me how you fixed the drivers.tgz file so that the
others on the speakup site can be repaired.
hehe.
