You've mailed this only to me, not the list. 2010/5/31 Jaime Ochoa Malagón chp...@gmail.com: 2010/5/31 Nuno Magalhães nunomagalh...@eu.ipp.pt: and in the other hand (yeah I have a two couples o them) could you expect the list of amd64 is in portuguese? According to the convention, i guess that would be debian-amd64-portuguese. The glitch is: there's no debian-user-english, for instance. Do you speak spanish? I speak portuñol if that counts as anything :) i can understand most spanish. I speak portuguese from Portugal natively and i also speak esperanto fluently. the japanese people have two sets of kanjis the fisrt one is used to speak their language end the second one to acept new language components as laser (レーザー) their kanjis are an idea as water (水) only one kanji to express the idea... I was under the impression mandarin uses one symbol per idea, whereas japanese uses phonetics, but i've never studied either (maybe japanese, some day, after russian). Sorry I need to say all of this because I am a natural spanish speaker and I pretty ofended of the patological necesity of change every foreing word to adapt it in our lenguage... Grow a thicker skin. I don't like it when i see commercials with a bunch of foreign (i.e. english) words when they could use plain, simple portuguese but english sounds cool. It's our fault really, not the anglosaxons'. I don't need to say briefing when i can say reunião or sessão de esclarecimento. It's longer? Gee, what's the rush? I prefer movies with subtitles. Another funny example are the programing lenguage do you have read a book with translated programing examples something like write(Hello world) escribe(Hola mundo) I agree when you say the computer folk language is english, it is so for me as well. I do find it ridiculous to use something like: escrever(Olá mundo!) - at least the 'escrever' part, unless this is pseudo-code, in which case i don't see any harm in it. I don't think i could easily use a programming language with reserved words in portuguese, i'm too used to english as my computer language. could you think in a chinese/japanese programming language?, I prefer it in english and thanks because my variables could have a full meaning because my words are not reserved words YEAH! Yup. Still, one of my pet hates is still the fact Unicode is not widely adopted and i get ISOs and ASCIIs more than i'd like. have a nice day!!!

97 ia32 packages on an amd64
Greetings, I know with the latest changes came a new APT that can handle both 32 and 64 packages, which is great. However, i barely need 32bit packages and yet i have 97 ia32* packages installed. Most of them are libs, but i also have ia32-at-spi, ia32-gtk2-engines, ia32-gtk2-engines-pixbuf and ia32-xaw3dg installed. The only 32bit app i use, barely, is Skype. I occasionaly compile stuff for i386 with -m32 but it's not a necessity. I also noticed that even though i have only two servers on my /etc/apt/sources.list, apt is updating from three servers and there are a whole bunch of files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, including many ia32*. The question is: how can i keep ia32 stuff to a minimum?

Re: ia32-apt-get breaks system

Opening pdf in Iceweasel crashes session.
Greetings, I'm getting this a lot. My university uses moodle and lots of classnotes are in pdf. When using Iceweasel 3.0.7-1 (and the previous version), if i open too many pdfs (around 10) in moodle, it'll crash my session and i'm back at gdm's login screen - very frustrating. On other sites sometimes it'll crash just for trying to print to pdf, or open a single pdf. Which log or other tool can i check? Other stuff like flash works well, but that's embeded, it's not a file the browser tries to open. I guess i could just set it to download but i'd like to preview before.

Re: Partition suggestions.
That's part of why I put swap in LVM. Why not put swap in LVM? Well, basically 'cos the little i'vre read of LVM seemed to confuse more that simplify and i don't wanna waste too much time setting this up. It's just one disk, one home system, nothing mission critical. As far as i now the advantage is that you can change partition sizes but how often would i need that, especially when i know, for this system, what sizes are more or less required? My big question was is it worth it to have anything more than / and /home on a home system and, apparently, there's no real gain. The /boot partition has the use of not locking the system if / fills up, having / and /home on LVM would enable me to grow / if it gets too crowded - even though i still think 20 GB is more than enough, its biggest chunk ight now is a 3.6GB /usr Nuno -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

Partition suggestions.
Greetings. Yes, it's a religous question but i'll try to lmit it. This is my df -h FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda4 13G 8.6G 3.6G 71% / tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 76K 10M 1% /dev tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda10373M 11M 343M 3% /tmp /dev/sda7 4.6G 3.7G 731M 84% /usr /dev/sda8 2.8G 387M 2.3G 15% /var /dev/sda6 100G 78G 23G 78% /mnt/win64 1) What's with those two tmpfs? Are (both) really necessary? Isn't swap enough? /mnt/win64 is a FAT32 that will become ext3, it has most of my personal stuff. I want to leave most of the disk for my /home and 8.2GB of / are actually my /home already, meaning i have about 86GB of user files (the biggest chunk of it in a folder called to_filter). This is a regular desktop and i'm gonna do a reinstallation. These partitions were done automatically 'cos i was already counting on a reinstall - there's a 20GB XP Pro partition that's gonna be reduced to 15GB if i don't decide to wipe it out completely (oh, wait, games...). Usually i use / and /home only. This is a 160GB Maxtor drive. 2) How about 20GB for / and everything else for /home? 3) is it worth it to separate /var and /usr on a desktop system? Why? Why not? What sizes? 4) What's standard on keeping important parts of the filesystem from being full and halting the system? Once i did have / full and it was crazy to fix it 'cos it wouldn't boot.

Re: reinstalling Debian - part I
...copy all files in the partition to be resized into a subdirectory on another partition. (This other partition must have room enough) It ain't :-) i'm gonna get an external drive and backup into it. You could also switch to aptitude which will remove some unused packages automatically for you. I did, it freed 0KB :) gnome-core is not installed but there are many gnomelings in the system nonetheless, mostly libraries but also stuff like nautilus, epiphany and yelp. Hence me wanting to reinstall, it's just easier and fun :) ...then run debsums -s... Its output was debsums: no md5sums for package for all the packages, anything to toggle when i run the installer again? ...So no package manager, unless you create and maintain your own big package that contains all the stuff you needed before getting to the package manager. I'll consider that. I wanna do an LFS but i want to make it just work at its final stages. The question is - do you care about looks or speed? Nope, xdm it is ...lspci tells you what you have. For nvidia, use the proprietary driver to use it to the max or the nv driver if you want to stay open-source. lspci gave me 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150] (rev a2). I'm using the nv driver 'cos installing NVidia's one was a mess. I don't really need bleeding edge, all the games are in the windows partition anyway ;-) Sure, you can install a minimal system on a 2GB drive.

reinstalling Debian - part I
Hi I have an amd64 system that is still dualboot with XP. It has a 100GB FAT32 that i use as my /home but since i barely use XP anymore and i had some issues with FAT32 i'm gonna resize my 20GB XP partition (oh, wait, i have game isos...) and change the fat to ext3. Also, my system got infected with this virus called gnome, which is really hard to get rid off. I hear KDE is the same and with so much X experimenting i'm not sure anymore which session/display/window/file/___managers i have and which are default. It's annoying. I also surely have some lost and unused packages and i could use some tweaking as far as partition sizes go, so, this implies repartition and reformat anyway. Before i do that, i want some advice. Here are the specs: power supply: 400W motherboard: Asus M2NPV-VM processor: AMD Athlon64 3500+ (2.2GHZ PIB SOCKET AM2 512KB CACHE) RAM: 2x Kingston 1G DDR2 800MHz CL5 (with two empty slots) hard-drive: Maxtor 160GB SATA II 7200RPM 8Mb Cache DVD: LG RW GSA-H10A (never used it in Debian yet actually) There are 3 other computers, two debians wired to the NAT router, another wireless with Vista (i'm thiking printers and Samba later). Starting with general questions, one of my future projects will be to fiddle around with Linux from Scratch. The thing is, if i compile everything, will i be able to compile a package manager and use it to manage everything i've already compiled? If not i'm stuck with a system that's not easily upgradable (although that's not the point with LFS). Religious question #1: which PM to use? I mostly use APT and i'm quite happy with it. Aptitude seemed ok. I want automatic removal of unused packages and whatever else is there to make management easy. Religious question #2: Display Manager. XDM does the job and i guess with some fiddling it could even become pretty. I have other machines, only one monitor and i'm lazy. I can get away with openSSH but i'd like to open a window on my desktop and connect to the other boxes. I did it once!! So, i'd like to use the same DM in all machines, one that will later allow me to remote session. I think SDM is discontinued (used SSH - i don't need it on my local network but its fun), i refuse to use GDM or KDM since i dislike the corresponding desktop enviroments (although i'm now using gdm). So... unless(?) i go for VNC i'd like a DM that can handle XDMCP. And the difference between a display manager and a session manager? Languages and i18n. My mother tongue is NOT english. I'm ok with it being the system language, i actually like the interface to be english, since i don't really appreciate other translations, but i want to be able to use the system (keyboard et al) for my own language (portuguese), as well as others (esperanto and russian). I want to be able to have filenames with portuguese accented letters, cyrillic or hebrew characters if i freaking want to - and use them on the console. Admitedly i ran into most problems with the FAT32 partition, but i still get a lot of garble. How can i guarantee a default Unicode system? Which brings us to the next question. Fonts. While fiddling with the default X meta-package (oh :(, i'd forgotten about that) i ran into 3 different locations for fonts. Apapretly Xfs is deprecated. I want my fonts to be central and unicode, available to all programs, at least. I don't want fonts that are not unicode - any tweaks? Short of compiling it how can i assure that my X server will be adapted to my hardware? It often installs drivers for a bunch of cards unnecessarily, for instance. And this motherboard has an onborad nVidia chip which i'd like to use to the max (and how could i test that?). Also i know this monitor (Samtron 55E) supports more than 800x600 resolutions, but i can't really know if it's using something above that. Also there doesn't seem to be a standard as fas as icons (and its size/behaviour) go... The installation: i want to be sure i'll only instal the most basic packages, the minimal system. I could use the netinst CD i used last time (May) but it would be interesting to use a USB pen-drive. I have a 2GB Kingston, i assume that's feasable. As far as general questions go, that's it for now i guess. All cronstructive criticism is welcome. Next wil be partitions :-) Cheers, Nuno -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

Gnome takeover
I got a rar file with a bunch of mpc files in it. When i tried to play one it opened with gnome's movieplayer but had no codec. That's fine, but why did the windowmanager change? As soon as the player opened all the icons, titlebars etc turned to gnome's default. i'm using xfce and i like it and there was no aparent reason for this to happen. Plus, it crashed mozilla. Guess i'll follow some threads and rm everything gnome. Or i'll just reisntal the whole thing. y biggest partition is my XP's fat32 where most of my files are but i have problems copying to/from it unicode issues mostly, i suppose) and i almost never use XP anyway so i could use some of that space. And just stick to etx3 everywhere, /home included. If needed i have an external fat32 drive to talk to Bill. While searching for the musepack codec i ran across xmms and xmms2... er... what's the difference? Is there any kind of wrapper or something where you can centralize all your prefs? Meaning one application that stores and enforces your default sxerver, display manager, window manager, file manager... With all this experimenting i have a crowded drive with packages i most certainly do not use and no apparent coherence. -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

ASUS m2npv-vm high-pitch bug returns!
It's the high-pitch noise on left channel, sound only on right channel. I SOLVED it but i'm curious as to why has The Bug returned. I had this problem in the beggining and i remember it was a matter of adding some lines somewhere. I think it was this line at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack The line's there. Whatever it was it worked fine from then on. A few sessions ago i started palying a file, heard the first second of it, then sound went dead and the noise came back. Restarting alsa takes no effect. The only recent change i've done has been to configure flash for amd64. As far as sound goes i stopped using esd and started using ALSA. i'm using xfce isntead of gnome and briefly used window maker. I set XMMS to use ALSA and everything was working fine with flash videos and mp3 for the last 2-3 sessions. My board's an Asus M2NPV-VM alsamixer gives this info: Card: HDA NVidia Chip Analog Devices AD1986A I've tried these suggestions: echo options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-fix and echo options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-special both followed by /etc/init.d/alsa reload no effect. I already have noapic in the kernel line of /boot/grub/menu.lst # kopt=root=/dev/sda4 ro noapic nolapic (there are instructions not to uncoment) I also saw reference to an NVIDIA chipset driver, NFORCE-Linux-x86_64-1[1].0-0311-pkg1,but i assume one can use a regular free driver, no? Eventually a reboot got rid of the high-pitch sound but there is no sound in the left channel anyway. I got everything off of *.deb so i assume it's tested. I ran alsaconf just for the hell of it and it shows two different sound cards: hda-intel nVidia MCP51 (whichi use) and mpu401 snd-mpu401 why two? It also refers to /etc/modprobe.d/sound which has this: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=0 (exactly the same as before) and /etc/modprobe.conf which doesn't exist). This is not hardware related. What's buging me is why the hell did this issue return if it was already solved... Any obscure thoughts? -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

Re: Debian amd64 from the net: Installation failed
I think the problem is only for 64bit releases... I have an etch 32 bit in a little laptop that do not worrry me... Is my only satisfation in debian world. I think there's a whole discussion list that can disagree with you regarding the problem with amd64 releases. Your complaints aren't very informative either and there are hundreds of mirrors to choose from, i'm sure ONE of them oughta work. Have you tried the ones on this list? http://www.us.debian.org/mirror/list Are you burning your ISOs properly or just dragging them onto a blank CD? What exactly does happen if you try to boot an instalation CD? It yells at you or something? -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

Keyboard remapping.
Greetings. I'm running Debian unstable on AMD64. My keyboard map is portuguese, it has deadkeys. In particular, the ^ key. If i press ^ and e, i'll get ê.I'd like to do the same with 6 other letters and there are 3 ways. - The correct one, where ^+letter would result in that same letter with ^ - the lazy one, where AltGr+letter would be used (i was previously using this in another machine) - the practical one: typing e+x would produce ê, typing shift+e+x (E+x) would produce Ê. After using xmodmap -pke i wrote this file, called .eoklavoj: keycode 30 = u U ubreve Ubreve downarrow uparrow keycode 39 = s S scircumflex Scircumflex ssharp section keycode 42 = g G gcircumflex Gcircumflex eng ENG keycode 43 = h H hcircumflex Hcircumflex hstroke Hstroke keycode 44 = j J jcircumflex Jcircumflex keycode 54 = c C ccircumflex Ccircumflex cent copyright ...which is in my home. So issuing xmodmap .eoklavoj would produce the desired effect. If i issue xmodmap -pke again, in fact those letters appear to be changed. However, in terminal, xchat, iceweasel, gedit, abiword, etc, etc they still have their normal AltGr+ funtionality. C, for instance, still produces ¢ and (c), not ccircumflex and Ccircumflex . This would be the lazy way. The output of xmodmap -pke does show all the letters i want to change, and also the [~^] key, which is: keycode 51 = dead_tilde dead_circumflex dead_grave dead_breve dead_grave dead_breve However, i couldn't find where is it defined which letters get to be accented. I can easily produce ã, but not ~s for instance. If i want to do it the right way instead of the easy way i'd need this information and probably wouldn't need to fiddle with xmodmap. This is xev's output when i press AltGr+s: KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2c1, root 0x135, subw 0x0, time 4196303626, (87,-7), root:(91,41), state 0x10, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2c1, root 0x135, subw 0x0, time 4196303829, (87,-7), root:(91,41), state 0x90, keycode 39 (keysym 0xdf, ssharp), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 9f) ß XmbLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 9f) ß XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2c1, root 0x135, subw 0x0, time 4196303912, (87,-7), root:(91,41), state 0x90, keycode 39 (keysym 0xdf, ssharp), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 9f) ß KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2c1, root 0x135, subw 0x0, time 4196304038, (87,-7), root:(91,41), state 0x90, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: I've tried this in windowmaker, same thing.

halt upon usb removal
Greetz, Prior to figuring out what was wrong with the deb64 netinst (needed -noacpi) i was using M$ XP Pro x64 without any major issues. The only annoying one was that sometimes, after unmounting a usb-drive, once i'd remove it from the PC it would shutdown. Only sometimes. I thought it was a Redmond issue and eventually got Etch up and running dualbooted. At the moment i'm using gnome and it just did the same thing: i unmounted the drive and once i removed the usb-stick gnome shutdown (halt), as if i had chosed to shut it down. So, if it's not OS-related... Could it be drivers? My board is an Asus M2NPV-VM, any suggestions? Could if be something in the board itself? -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

Packages.
Hi. Whenever i install Debian, i always use the netinst and select nothing but the base system. Then it's apt al the way: first X, then a lightweight WM plus whatever i need. However, even with a minimal install there are always a bunch of packages that i didn't choose and that (apparently) aren't used by any other package. This time i decided to nstall X from the installer menu, so i got X+GNOME. I still had to work around the xorg.conf to get it working (framebuffer). The thing is, i'm allergic to unused packages and i dislike big desktop enviroments like GNOME or KDE. And i know that if i do apt-get remove --purge gnome* there will still be leftovers, like Evolution. I don't think neither apt nor aptitude (or even synaptic, another usual leftover) have this, but is there a way to know if a package is depended upon? Automagically removing it if not? Actually my favourite is apt, i dislike the other two. I'm going through the list of installed packages and their descriptions in the debian site, i even have a fortune-cookies package! Wtf? And i skipped all the lib* and x* ones... How can i get rid of everything gnome? Just wishfull thinking in the wrong list, but it would be nice if developers of mamoths like X, GNOME and KDE would develop installers which let you choose what you want to install and/or that only install componets whcih are really necessart. I already have openoffice, i don't need gnumeric; nor do i need 30 graphics drivers when i'll only use one. Any constructive suggestions would be much appreciated. -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

blank Xorg on Etch
Greetings earthlings. There doesn't seem to be an X-related list, or i couldn't find it. I had issues booting the Etch netinst for AMD64. I tried Knoppix 5.0.1 - worked like a charm, X and all, except for sound. Tried live Ubuntu 5.04 for Inter x86, complained about X. Tried Ubuntu 5.04 for AMD64, complained about acpi; then about X. LFS 6.2.3 booted fine (has no X). So after booting the Debian installer with noacpi i finally installed Etch through netinst. Until then it would freeze after io scheduler cfq registered and the only suggestion i got from the lists was to burn another disc... Anynway, now i'm complaining about X. The sound i dealt with, added options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base Which is better, ALSA or OSS? The system boots fine, actually it flies. As usual a Debian basic install always adds unnecessary things - why the hell is there a Bittorrent tracker?! Once X starts the screen blanks, beeps once, and the monitor LED keeps blinking. It responds to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (does the same again) and i can switch to console. This is ps -A from the first graphics-related PID: 3018 ?00:00:00 gdm 3024 ?00:00:00 gdm 3029 tty7 00:00:00 Xorg 3030 ?00:00:00 rpc.statd 3031 ?00:00:00 dhclient 3062 ?00:00:00 atd 3069 ?00:00:00 cron 3104 tty1 00:00:00 login 3105 tty8 00:00:00 getty 3114 ?00:00:00 gdmgreeter How come there are two gdm? Eventually i'll switch to xdm and xfce4. The motherboard is an ASUS M2NPV-VM. Details can be found here: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3l2=101l3=296l4=0model=1138modelmenu=2 Basically: - AMD Athlon 64 3500+ - graphics card is a nVidia GeForce 6150, i think - 2GB of RAM (DDR2 667 DualChannel, 128bit) - phoenix Award BIOS v6.00PG X is running the nv driver. I tried installing the nvidia driver from their site (file NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run) but it complains about libc - mine's 6 and i assume it's current. Gcc is ver 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21). Once i've comented out loading of dri and glx modules, i find no errors in X's log. Oddly enough issuing gcc -v file or similar for xorg won't redirect but that's irrelevant for now. I don't really care about 3D - if i can get it then all the better. If i can get X to work without closed drivers, even sweeter. Here are the usual suspects: http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~i000283/deb64/dmesg.txt http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~i000283/deb64/nvidia-installer.log http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~i000283/deb64/Xorg.0.log http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~i000283/deb64/xorg.conf uname -a gives: Linux deb64 2.6.18-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu May 31 23:51:05 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but found nothing noteworthy. It detected the same resolutions as XP Pro x64 currently does: 800x600, 960x600, 1024x768 at 32bit. The monitor is a Samtron 55E. My other box is and old Pentium 2 i'm LAMPing up with Debian Etch for i386 and X works (almost) fine. I had to comment out dri and glx as well, the window manager won't start up properly but it's working. Here's its xconf: http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~i000283/deb64/i386-xorg.conf I use the same monitor for both machines, although now i managed to remote an X session to the old box. After running dpkg-reconfigure i got these errors in Xorg.0.log (EE) Unable to find a valid framebuffer device (EE) NV(0): Failed to open framebuffer device, consult warnings and/or errors above for possible reasons (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Full log: http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~i000283/deb64/r-Xorg.0.log Resulting xconf: http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~i000283/deb64/r-xorg.conf ...so i reverted to the old config files and got back where i started. When i had Sarge the only issue i had with X under Debian was changing the /dev for the mouse and everything worked fine (on that old box, still XFree86), but now... Hopefully this is enough information. And, according to Murphy, it's probably a very easy and silly thing to solve. Thanks in advance. -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

blank Xorg on Etch
I have a howto on how to install nvidia drivers the debian way (as well as any other type of kernel module package) at http://www.tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/debian/ The nvidia driver wasn't istalled, as i stated, so there was nothing for --uninstall to remove. Your howto helped, i'm replying from gnome. Well I would have expected the nv driver to work fine with the 6150 although I have never actualyl used on of those low end onboard chips. Gimme high-end money and i'll get a high-end offboard chip. ;-) Actually, it wasn't nv causing the problem. I got the framebuffer error again after switching to the nvidia driver: (EE) Unable to find a valid framebuffer device (EE) NV(0): Failed to open framebuffer device, consult warnings and/or errors above for possible reasons (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. I ran dpkg-reconfigure again, this time choosing No in the framebuffer question (Use kernel framebuffer device interface?) and choosing the nvidia driver instead of nv, and it worked. I didn't need to comment dri and glx either. So, the issue was the framebuffer. Thanks again. -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

Finfing and using nvidia drivers for installation.
I have an Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard with Athlon64 3500+. It comes with NVIDIA GeForce 6150 + nForce 430. Right now it's running XP 64 Pro at acceptable levels. I've run Knoppix several times and it works fine - detects everything but the sound, but it's not the latest version. By fine i mean i can work with it, i'm not sure if it's using all the bells 'n' whistles it's supposed to. Now i'm trying to install the latest Debian 64 port but i have problems with the installer: it won't see the ethernet card or the SATA disc. The Linux nForce Drivers page recomends quite a few drivers there, but somehow for some reason only particular distros are supported (rpm based afaik). Shouldn't it be generic? Anyway Debian's not on the list and the zip contains many source versions of drivers there, the only one i couldn't find is hda_intel.c for the sound. I'd still have to manage a way of using them since i have no floppy drive (sure i could plug one in). I'm not really in the mood for trying drivers from multiple distros on another distro. It's a minimal installer (business card), it's supposed to download everything - if i manage to get the networking going will it fetch all the required drivers? If i use the Unix Drivers page all of the AMD64 links i've tried link to misformed html pages that won't fully load. And FTP's always full. Any suggested packages post-install? Some 3D stuff? OpenGL? Any help is appreciated. -- Fica bem, porta-te mal. Be well, misbehave. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
