Getting rid of old, obsolete kernels

Eh? Edit your %%*&*%&%* boot loader's config file! What else would you
do?
 

Nonsense - they are save-your-life items. Dozens of times I've been
bailed out by an old kernel.
 

If lilo is your boot manager, then it will change the config of lilo,
which probably includes a reference to a menu list to pup up (usually
"lilo.msg" or similar. Edit the contents of that other file.
 

Why would it? "man rm".
 

There aren't any other places, and they aren't old and useless. My list
of boot kernels goes back to 1995 on this machine, and I still bot even
the oldest to check how things work under it.
 

Yes - you.

If your shell is bash, use $HOME/.bash_login
It is run only when you login. $HOME/.bashrc is run for each subshell
that is started.

See man pages for detailed expalnations.

Take a look at http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/
This covers your questions. It sounds like either you did not burn
the ISO image correctly, your CDROM is not working at all or your
CDROM is not supported by the kernel of the boot floppy. The FAQ
tells you how to make the CD correctly as well as other checking
things as others suggested.

Now, tell us what kind of CDROM you are using. Is it IDE, SCSI, USB
or PCMCIA?

HELP: NFS mount hangs when attempting to copy file

Haven't seen this as default r/wsize on any distro whatever you
run? But a good value on a LAN, the default is about 8192 on many
systems. But those seem to change from time to time.

But might be one of the problems on your VPN, I'd lower this and
switch to "tcp" instead of "udp" at first.
 

My experience is exactly different, many problems with hard
mounting and zero with soft mounting.
 

Yep, the difference with tcp instead of udp would be most
interesting, if the server supports that.

Now fixed too.
 
Dang! Well it must be character building. Cheers Frank.
