Re: Two problems with installation of Lenny
Finally I have managed to install the driver and it works perfectly now after installing the binutils and kernel sources. I just wonder why they were not installed by default as they are essential Thank you Ölafur for the hint Ibrahim 2009/4/22 Ibrahim Shaame isha...@gmail.com No, it's not there. Will try to install binutils this afternoon 2009/4/22 Ólafur Jens Sigurðsson ojs...@gmail.com On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 09:24:31AM +0200, Ibrahim Shaame wrote: I have two problems in installing Debian Leny: 2 - I have just acquired ASUS with AMD Phenom Quad and NVIDIA GForce.

Two problems with installation of Lenny
I have two problems in installing Debian Leny: 1 - I installed a 32 bit version on and AMD, which installed correctly. I have other installations (Slackware 12.2 and Slackware 12.0, DLS, etc) on the machine. At the Grub menu, when I select Slackware 12.0 it boots with a minor error message. But Slackware 12.2 doesn't. It says that the file /boot/vmlinuz-2.27.7.XX not found. But both kernels ( for Slackware 12.0 and Slackware 12.2) are present in the same (/boot) directory. Inversely when I re-write the boot record with LILO (in Slackware 12.0 or Slackware 12.2) both Slacks will boot but not Debian (kernel panic ..) following is my configuration: hda1 = Slackware 12.0 hdb5 = Slackware 12.2 hdb9 = Debian Lenny 2 - I have just acquired ASUS with AMD Phenom Quad and NVIDIA GForce. I have installed Slamd64 ( a Slackware variant for AMD 64bit). It booted after the first shot and X used framebuffer as a default display drvier. I then downloaded the NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA and could install within seconds. Everything is working perfectly. Then I installed my 5 DVDs of Debian amd64. But at the end of the exercise X Windows could not fire up (screens not found, etc..) When I tried to install the NVIDIA driver I got the message ld not found.

Re: Netscape4, Mozilla - Now what is X? - How to stop X?
I think before sending him to FAQ you could have given him a quick answer and then refer him to the URL. The most discouraging thing in Linux for a beginner is to start going through thousands of pages of man, FAQs and HOWTOs which are long in first place, and difficult to understand for a new convert. To answer the question: I don't know how it is with debian, but in slackware you go and edit the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local, comment out (put #) at the beginning of the line which has the name xdm (or kdm or gdm, depending whether you use raw xdm, KDE or Gnome display managers). This way next time you boot your machine it will bring you to a prompt similar to DO$, where you can log in with your user name and password. To start X you will type startx at the prompt (after logging in of course!) To go out of X you either go out through the procedure of your window manager (you should have a menu item for logging out) or you press Ctrl + Alt + Backspace. Regards Ibrahim --- Karsten M.

Installing using Network and / or Cable Modem
Hello, I have donwloaded and tried to install be base system which worked perfectly. Unfortunately when configuring internet, I only have the possibility of installing PPP (which of course is not convenient to complete the installation over the internet). I have cable modem. Could anyone please tell me how can I install my cable internet connection? I would also appreciate if you can also tell me how to configure local network after the base installation, as it does not seen that there is any utility to do so in the base installation. Thanks and Best Regards I. Shaame __ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo! Auctions! http://auctions.yahoo.com

I installed from floppy images. At no point I was asked/prompted to configure the NIC.
