Re: internet from lan

[barry <kansaibear@mac.com>]

well I just downloaded the minimal install package from the debian  
site and that is what kernel I am using.

bear@debian:~$ uname -a
Linux debian 2.4.27-powerpc #1 Tues May 30 22:50:15 UTC 2006 ppc GNU/ 
LInux

OK, there is the output, does that help?

Thanks, Barry
