I was perfectly civil in pointing out all the reasons why I shouldn't have
been Cc'd. I didn't flip out, and in general I *don't* flip out over it.

Yeah, and if you bigots get any more annoying, you should try and get it
policy too.

Why cant some of you come up with a procmail setup that can at least
flag and/or delete that tripe at which you so hate.

Or just killfile pepople you cant stand.

Just stop the jabbering and whining about it in every comms channel you

Check the discover package. xfree4 uses discover to decide which xserver
module to use.

Re: HW Probe

2001-09-13 Thread Mike Markley
I don't think that this is a bad goal by any means, but you're still asking
questions about how the RedHat installer does things, on a Debian list. If
you asked for suggestions on how to do it within Debian's current bootdisks
and so forth, that'd be one thing, but if you're mostly trying to duplicate
how RedHat does it, you're asking the wrong list.

Now, on to the Debian-specific question that just came out, I don't know of
any such hardware probe currently available but there are GPL'd tools which
other distros use. These could prove useful.

Also, *please* don't Cc: me on list posts. Even if you disagree with,
ignore, or are ignorant  the suggestion in the developers-reference that
list members *not* be Cc:'d on list mails, I've also set Mail-Followup-To:
and Mail-Copies-To: headers. Thanks.

Hi,
What do you think about Debian has a GUI for installation? It will
not be better?
Is it possible to do the same with Debian?
My project has a Bootable CD based on Debian, but it's difficult to
run a XServer in any machine without a HW probe, do you know if Debian has
something like that?
Thanks,
Joan.

Hi BERNARDES,JOAN!

You wrote:

I'm sorry, but Debian is not Redhat. It is, in fact, a completely
different Linux distribution. I suggest you seek help in a Redhat
newsgroup or mailinglist.

Good luck!
