Stop being a fuddy. Upgrade to Edgy and the newer kernel and init
system.
fuddy? mamma mia please don't get too technical with me.
Then come back here.
Until you at least become current on you workstation, stop asking
questions.
Do you honestly think that everyone here is using Etch? or Sarge?
All I see is many struggling to help you on a system that is not Debian.
I don't really care to support an OLD version of a Debian derivative,
that isn't really Debian in the first place. Do us THAT before we
continue.
If you are so pissed off that I'm not using 6.10, why are you replying
in the first place?
I am not PISSED, if I were pissed and I had the gumption to reply, you'd
get a seriously LONG e-mail. Not just a 2-3 pager, a novel.
and Ubuntu isn't really Debian?
Nope it has diverge significantly that many Debian packages will not
install on Ubuntu's Edgy.
what do you call a
distro that uses apt, aptitude, deborphan, dpkg, etc and claims to be
based on Debian?
