Next message: Vitaly McLain: "[LUNI] Re:"
Thanks for the advice... I do think they were simply unreachable. Do you
guys have some vamped-up sources.list files or some interesting debian
mirrors I should know about that don't come with the installed files?
Also, I used fdisk to change what was set as a IBM Thinkpad Hybernate
partition to type b/win95fat32, and it still gives me the bios error.
Must be something I'm missing.
But if you know of some good mirrors, please let me know.
