Oh Yeah, About the hardware support thing, the Debian kernel can use modules for hardware driver support. Debian uses a simple tool called modconf, which allows you to add hardware driver modules and remove driver modules. As I said prior, APT-GET can get you the packages you want, even the...

There are several options for installing Debian, other than the 1--7 disks method, which are a lot to have to download. If you want a full install of all kinds of packages, including all the stuff you never heard of and never use, you can simply down load Knoppix 3.2. It gives you the 2.4.20...

I installed Debian 3.0 "Woody" (no problems), "apt-get update" then I used "apt-get install x-window-system" (no problem), then "apt-get install kde" (no problem) then "apt-get install synaptic" and again (no problem). Now, but not always, I try...

A short while back I downloaded a copy of Wordperfect, but I cannot remember where I found it. I have changed hard drives and, short of placing my old drive back in my computer, I no longer have the program. I am not interested in Wordperfect 2000 -- the down load that has the Linux OS as a part...
