Bug#2336: Wide SCSI compatability with Debian 0.93R6

I think that the fast, wide Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter isn't supported in
Linux kernels earlier than 1.3.52. The kernel in the 0.93R6 system is
1.2.13.

Well, gzip -d reports the exact number of bytes, not the number of "MBytes"
which is commonly used to refer to 2^20 bytes, i.e., 1 MByte = 1048576 bytes.

Yes.

Yes.

This issue has a late version of the 0.93R6 release, including
mods to it since November's release (notably to the boot &
root disks)

P.S. debian-bugs is actually not the appropriate mailing list for your
question. Rather, questions like this one (how-to ...?) should be
directed to debian-user. Hope that helps.
