This was a very good place. As well as the previous one by you, where I found the right svga-driver. The monitor and card are working now very well. I'll install the latest LyX to show my local friends doing a lot of word-processing what they can do with free softwares. (In my own machine at home all the programs, which I have installed are working well.) I need the local administrator's help to get the debian-system netted as well (there is a local Novell-network.) Now I can show him that it would be worth of doing some experiments with Debian and he will probably let to put my system in the net... (I'm using win to post these messages) Thank you a lot for the advice. No I'll try to concentrate on the power-system... After three times of trying I managed to keep the system up to intall the system (and the new svga-server.) It went off three times just during the installation-process. Could it have something to do with the screen-saver-system? The third time I was constantly hitting 'caps lock' key to give the machine some kind of signals. > > I'll try to solve the problem of sudden shut-down. > > I was told by a local windows-guru that the automatic shut-off is a > > property of newer atx-boxes and mainboards. > > Yes, but it should be be triggered ramdomly in Linux. > I have that at home and it's not a problem. Yes so it should be. Probably it has something to do with the various bios-settings... I'll try to give you all the settings after a while (it is a lot of writing... because you cannot copy them electronically anyhow.) - hv [EMAIL PROTECTED]
