Kernel compilation questions and others
First of all please let me thank all of you who responded to my newbie
questions...I really appreciate all of the help and I hope I am not hogging
the lists time...
I have installed minicom, ppp, cpp, etc. according to the dependencies
Debian told me about...
The PPP manual and several others have told me I will need to compile my
kernel to use PPP or the Ethernet card I had posted about earlier. What
the heck do I need to do this? I have only downloaded cpp from the dev
module sections. What else do I need? I don't think I have any source
code on the machine as of yet...
I thought I remembered having the option for a NE2000 compliant ethernet
card and ppp dynamically loading library in the startup when I first
installed Debian, but like a fool I didn't choose these since I didn't have
anything at the time... Can this be done instead of recompiling the
kernel? I posted earlier that I have a 100 MB drive and I was told this
was not enought, but currently I don't have the cash flow for more (50 days
and counting till I get married and have to pay for a honeymoon :-)...)
Can I do this stuff with only 49 MB left, according to the 'df' command?
PART 2
Several people told me about the color-ls command and how to type 'eval
DIRCOLORS' in the initialization file...Where is this file and what is it
called?
Once again thanks for y'all's help and for your UNBELIEVEABLE patience!
Bill
