Birth announcement
2 new systems were delivered safely last night !
deb1/deb2 (.grw.org) each arrived in about 30 mins. thanks to an effective
installation package and despite my worst efforts to RTFM, although both
systems are currently underweight compared to their brothers and sisters
(486/66 8Mb 320Mb HDD and 486/50 8Mb 260Mb HDD) I expect them both to grow
up into useful adults...
Seriously though, could I just pass on my congrats. to whoever developed the
Debian installation procedure, download and install (via floppies) went like
a dream, the kernel module configuration seemed almost intuitive, and the
network was there without blinking, pure joy compared to the two previous
evenings spent wrestling with the installation of a rival brand of *nix o/s,
which still needs the kernel recompiling/debugging.
Could I just ask if anyone out there has any 'post install cleanup' advice,
particularly to remove some of the spurious pci warnings, I am not in front
of the screen now, but the boot gave several warnings about 'ea-???' stuff,
along with warnings about stuff missing from the bios, when I get back
tonight, I will check it out more thoroughly.
P.S. I did take the option to remove the PCMCIA module(s) but there still
seems to be some residue ?
