I just now finished installing.
It says this after reboot:
"Gnome Desktop Manger"
...
"Username"
but my keyboard won't type anything
and I can't use alt-F2 to go to another
shell to kill X-windows.
Only thing I can to is turn the power off to reboot.Once you're in single user mode, you can see what IP address has been given (ifconfig); chances are it'll be the same address next reboot.
I can't even rlogin from another machine since I configured this new system as a DHCP boot for internet surfing
(my present in house network is 10.x.x.x based and this was
the first machine in my plan to migrate to DHCP).
I guess it is a problem that I did not know which serial port the mouse is on... maybe?
This might affect the mouse, but not the keyboard.
How can I find that out?
/etc/gpm.conf and/or /etc/X11/XF86Config[-4]
Maybe the knoppix cd will help in this regards?If for some reason you can't log into single user mode, yes. It's also a way to convince yourself that your keyboard and mouse can work in Debian.
