You admit that "In most cases it won't even be feasible", but this also means that in some cases, it would be feasible. Why not give that option to people? Just wondering.

xdm and getting to the console..
Hi all, I've installed xdm on my machine, and everything is working fine. I'm just wondering how I can get to the console. I tried killing the X-Server, but that didn't work. It just booted me to the login prompt. Marc -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Storing XVidtune changes...
What is the easiest way to store changes that are made with xvidtune? I used it to setup X the way that I like it, and I would like the changes to become permanent. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marc -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Getting a Panasonic CD-ROM to work...
Hi all, I have two distressing problems. I'm trying to install Debian Linux at home from CD, but Debian does not mount my cdrom properly. I have a Panasonic CD that goes through my Mozart soundcard. I've been able to install the module for the cd, but it does not mount properly. The error message says that it could be an insmod properly. I don't really understand what that means, and pointers to where I can get more information would be greatly appreciated. My other problem involves install from disk. Since my cdrom was not working, I attempted to create floppies using rawrite2 from dos. I created the disks and everything seemed to be great, but after the fifth disk, the program seemed to reset and go from the beginning again. I'm even more clueless about this. Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marc -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
