Hi all, I do not know the exact procedure for sumitting requests. So iam using this list. I downloaded etch DVDs and found that the console at Alt+F2 gives a shell which does not have ping utility which comes handy many places. Is there a possibility of adding ping to the CD/DVD ? -- Bhasker C V Registered Linux user: #306349 (counter.li.org) The box said "Requires Windows 95, NT, or better", so I installed Linux.
