well, after messing with dselect all day, i managed to operate it and install everything under the constrains (with window maker xfree86,etc..). However, i have one problem left. i need to translate this: http://www.angelfire.com/nt/sucks/XF86Config.txt
to the new XF86Config-4 format. i tried to configured regularly but it gave me: screens found .. non usable.. Fatal error: no screens found. 10x. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Shaul Karl > Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 5:18 PM > To: Tzahi Fadida > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: PCMCIA trouble > > > On Tue, Oct 14, 2003 at 12:15:13AM +0200, Tzahi Fadida wrote: > > > > > > Does that mean that base took 172mb?
