Instead of reaching for Esc, you can also just Ctrl-[ if you find it easier.

If you are *really* paranoid, you must write your own C compiler.

Dillo is nice but it doesn't do javascript or https. Links2 does text mode or graphical mode and does javascript and https. Unless I need graphics or javascript, for textmode I use Lynx. Doug.

What have you done to try and find out so far? If getting out on the net is your only problem because of this: then do an apt-cache search pcmcia and see if you have the necessary packages installed by apt-cache policy <package-name>. For example, what is the output of: apt-cache policy pcmcia-cs Once you know what package you need, download the .deb file from http://packages.debian.org/ stick it on a floppy[1] then install it (as root) dpkg -i <package-name>.deb If none of this works for you, then please post back with an explanation of what you have tried, error messages, your kernel version, the output of dmesg when you eject and insert the card. Also what card is it? (model/chipset) -- Chris. ======

I don't have a creative zen to play with, but I thought the zen player was a MMC compliant (Regular or Flash) drive. If that is the case, then you need to mount it as an MSDOS drive. Then use your favorite file manager to move file to and from the zen. Look at the mount command for more information on mounting the drive. Hope this helps... -- Alexander J.M.

You are fair in being paranoid about the drivers or for any other software for that matter. That is the advantage of Free Software as it allows for you and many other users of that software to delve into the source code and examine it for any security flaws. However, that is the ideal situation. A regular user ideally cannot examine the source code of every software he/she uses. Thus, the best one can do is to examine the file I/O and network I/O when the specific software is in use. In your case, when the driver is in use you can check the outgoing network connections and file I/O if anything suspicious is going on. I don't remember of the top of my head the commands to check network and file I/O but I have read them in the OpenBSD afterboot man page. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=afterboot&sektion=8 Good luck, Amit
