Yeah, I installed my system about a week ago using the mini.iso off the netinst directory and it worked like a charm.  MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum installing on 2 SATA drives in a mirrored array.  I just wanted to set it up and decide if the AMD64 port works well enough to use as a HTPC.  I've dec

Sven,   Thanks for the response... I did exactly the same thing just now with another "test" kernel and it still gives me a blank screen.  I did a similar command "grep FB .config" in my linux directory and it responded with exactly the results that you have.  I set up my kernel line with a

Actually, I got it figured out, you were right those messages are normal.  Apparently, changing the S20xprint to non-executable causes XFree86 to bomb without an error in XFree86.0.log or syslog... it drops an error into .xsession-errors.  I didn't want a print server running so I took off t

Hello Again,   So I got my whole system installed with Debian on the AMD64 (pure64) stuff and it seems to run well.  I'm planning on using my new system as a HTPC and I was thinking about running the AMD64 version of Debian.  Is this a good idea?  I've been getting used to Slackware over the

Hello all, I'm new to the raid thing in linux (and fairly new to linux also). My router for the last year or so has been a old PIII 600MHz running slackware... Anyway, after doing some research I decided to build a home-theater PC using an Athlon 64 3200+ with pure64 as a base. I purchased an
