Help with pump requested
Okay, I've been running Linux on various systems for about a year, and have
been running it on my laptop for a few months. I was running Slackware on
the laptop until Windows trashed my pinux partition last week, and then
decided to switch to Debian. I downloaded the installation disks for
'frozen' to my windows partition, and set off. The installation went fine
(connecting through my pcmcia network card to retrieve missing files), but
when I rebooted and tried to install all of the software packages, I found
that the network was not working. After some muddling around in an
alternate console, I ran pump at the command line, and everything was great
again. So now, everytime I reboot my system, I have to run pump as root
from the command line to get network access (This is via a cable modem with
DHCP) On slakware I used dhcpd, and was able to get it installed
automatically just fine. But I can't figure out how to correctly install
pump (I could through it into one of my rc.d files, but that doesn't seem
like the right thing to do). When I look at my /etc/pcmcia/network file, I
see that pump is run a few times (with different options), and when I chekc
the logs, I can see that this does indeed happen, but at the end, pump just
isn't running when the login prompt shows up.
Sorry for being so long winded, but can anyone help?
Thanks,
.Geoff
