Re: Recommendations for Low Resource System

I have been using Blackbox ever since I got into Debian, mostly because it is so small and fast. I use it with xterms, graphics, word processing and simulations. It's great for low power beasts. I had a problem with it only on one machine, where it routinely but spontaneously shut down X, and

Yeah, that took a bit of digging to get to the bottom of that. The secret incantation that beat the neomagic driver into submision for me was: Option "overridevalidatemode" Without that it seems to think it knows better than you do what modes to use... no, with that the screen gets

Hello, Digby and Kevin! So far the agreement between you guys and my other linux-friends seems to be that I should pull the hard drive and install on another system. I will do that as a last resort, because I will probably have a nightmare of a time configuring it on the libretto with all the

Hello! I have been trying to install Sarge on Toshiba Libretto 110ct for weeks with no success. I gravely need someone to take me through it, as I feel that I've tried everything and can't think of anything else to do. The laptop had an empty hard drive and external PCMCIA floppy and cd drives

Hello! I just installed Debian on my fairly good Pentium !!!, and just barely got my (very good indeed!) monitor to work (thanks to the people on the list). Now, I am having major problems configuring it, as the configuration utility that I run during installation never configures the mouse right.
