Dear sir,
Good morning. I'm a Debian Linux new user and
currently I'm facing some problem with my network
connection. I followed the instruction from Linux
installation help,

and
Hey,
I wasn't ever able to change resolutions during my x session (unless I
was in root), so I just gave up after a while. I downloaded snes9x

denied." I've already added myself to the kmem group, so I don't know
what else to
When I do "dpkg -l 'perl*'" I get the following (abbreviated):

||/ Name VersionDescriptio
We e-mailed back and forth a few times and it came out that what they
meant was that they don't know anything about Linux and that trying
to run it would be a security risk because they don't know how to
configure it.

I put the potato debian site in /etc/apt/sources.list, and let go with

I am attempting to install Debian on my machine, only during the normal
boot, it hangs up. The last line is "NCR53c406: no available ports found"

mouse?
How do I install the mouse?
