Ok, I got X to work. I reinstalled the
xserver-xfree86 package and selected [EMAIL PROTECTED],
rather then 60.
So X is now working and I would like to install KDE or
gnome. Using apt-get for task-kde or
task-gnome-desktop does not work. It says that some
of the packages cannot be installed. An

Hello,
Over the weekend I have been installing unstable on my
Wallstreet. Everything works up until I want to start
up X 4.0.2. When I "startx" or when xdm starts, the
computer crashes and I have to do a hard reboot. The
screen turns black, but I think that the backlight
stays on.

Hi!
thanks to the help of Ethan I succeeded in creating a boot floppy.
The steps are the following:
1. get boot-floppy-hfs.img and dd it to a floppy;
2. test if you can boot (it will prompt for a ramdisk). I had to use an
