First make it all work in vt100-like mode (no X just ascii terminal). I like basic installation (about 25Mb) in Debian 2.0. After that start to setup X. Your X server is relatively new: ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc/Servers/X3DL. tgz If you are serious about Debian I would recommend Slink (debian 2.1) > thanks > Frits Bonte > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Have fun, Sasha.
