Whew. Hard to keep up. You know -- I didn't personally
"select" 2.2.18pre21 -- it was on a CD that came with
"Debian GNU/Linux Bible".
Why would the author of this book choose to distribute
a short-lived version of Debian?
And, isn't it required that *all* the sources (including
headers) be archived, for all releases? In effect, I'm
being forced to upgrade a working installation for lack of
source files. A wee bit annoying.
This might all be a bit simpler if I had a working
network connection (on the Debian box,) but you see...
that's in fact what I'm struggling to achieve.
