Re: Netatalk

[Darik Horn <dajhorn@vanadac.com>]

Install a recent complete kernel package:

# apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386

This kernel package has netatalk support.  The netatalk deamons should 
start without problems if you are running this kernel.

The BF kernels do not always have everything that you might need.
