Hello again Arnt,
As you would have guessed I am working my way towards debian live as per
your advice previously.
For now I am leaning my way around Debians way of doing things. Rather
pleased as I have just compiled todays SVS against OSG 2.8.8.3 (as advised
by Thorsten) on Lenny and it appears to run quite nicely. It was however a
long haul, quite a few apps from backports and where ever else along the
way. I had not been near a kernel rebuild since I put a soundblaster card to
RedHat3.
A lot of mucking around to get the "nvidia" module loaded and driver
running, a new learning curve along the way. But that gives me some debian
"grounding" before I start to build my image files
This box will take over all of the server duties from the suse box and be a
platform for building my live boot images. My FG machines are all the same
Nvida card and Intel mother boards to this one.
To be honest I installed mesa but not sure if was the correct one, so many
apt-gets and dpkg commands in one day!
I will let it run the updates to sid over night and see what happens in the
morning.
No big issue to wipe the system and start again with a minimal text system
and upgrade to twm and an xserver from from there, if teh upgrade is not
sucessfull because of something I have installed.
Cheers harry
