Hi,
I downloaded Debian Sarge and tried to install it.
I would suggest you try Debian etch (about to be realeased and currently
under freeze)
http://www.us.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ Try the weekly snapshots.
Which what I use at home & office and also recommends/installs for my
friends. It has a much improved installer (with gui) and lot of latest
packages.
The installation went fine.
But I think i missed to select the "Desktop" option during
installation. If I enter
"startx" command i encounter errors. I thought Xfree86 was not
installed. so I tried
'apt-get install x-windows-system'. I found this in the Internet. But
still "startx"
apt-get install x-window-system-core xserver-xfree86
wouldnt work. I am trying to figure that out.
But I have a question. When I first installed Sarge. I could see a X11
folder in /etc.
Why was this folder created if X was not installed initially? Is it
created by default?
I think it is created by default.
