Hi John, (and anyone who can help)

I have successfully installed and booted from a PFS partition. The FFS
partition seemed to be getting corrupted regularily causing my system
to stop booting. It wasn't obvious the files had become corrupted but
they wouldn't work. When the boot files were replaced by the
originals off CD things started to work again. With no change to the
miggy side.

#linux after booting, so its handy for transferring files from miggy#
#to linux and back. 
I also have a FFS partition as well for copying to and from miggy.

##I now have a full Woody set of CD's (8 disks) so can install the
software from these.
I have partly installed Woody (the basic sytem) but have a couple of
problems. On installation I was informed my hardware clock date was
1902. I didn't know how to change this, so now when I use dselect to
install software I get error messages saying the date contained in
the deb is in the future. Do you know how I can amend the date? The
installed packages seem to work but I need to get this date thing
right.
Also on my old Debian 2.2r3 installation I had to initially copy a
system map2.4.4 into /boot and some libs (containing the kernal
modules) into libs. I have done this but on boot up the system can't
find the modules.dep and seems to be looking in libs/modudles/2.2.10
instead of libs/modules/2.4.4.
I'm not sure what needs to be done here as just renaming the dir
doesn't seem to work.
Any further info I might find useful regarding getting woody working
ok would be great. I want to get these niggly problems sorted before
moving on to XFree4 and a full software installation.
