Did they move it or just forgot to put it back in? PS. Was trying to install Debian-7.8.0 AMD64 DVD (Wheezy) using the KDE Alternative Desktop Environment at http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.8.0/amd64/bt-dvd/debian-7.8.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso.torrent, and it had a problem with the video card or monitor. When booting up, it did fine up to the point of the login screen and then it was just black. Worked fine on the desktop I have, just not on the Acer laptop. I heard that you upgraded the firmware and drivers in Debian Jessie including non-free firmware so I wanted to give it a shot. Booted up just fine. But when I went to the Advanced Options to change the Alternative Desktop Environment to KDE, that option wasn't there.

You boot as normal from the boot menu and you have the choice of desktops later via tasksel. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com Since phone messaging became popular, the young generation has lost the ability to read or write anything that is longer than one hundred and sixty characters. -- Ignatios Souvatzis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
