Installing X

I'm going to use slink, but I need X 3.3.3 (I have a Matrox G200), so I'm getting the 3.3.3.1 svga server right now... What more do I need? Can there be problems with mixing different versions?

burning potatoe on cd's

I though I'd try potatoe, but there are no iso's available (duh..). What do I need to burn to install from bootfloppy + cd's? I've found potatoe at a fast local ftp site, and my guess is that what I need is att the files in the dists/potato/ dir, and also all the packages in the dir's dists/potato

ext2 spec

Where can I find info on the ext2 file system? I'm writing an OS and will probably need ext2 support...

Uncomplete installs

When I install a package that gets run at boot and then remove it, the files in /etc/init.d and /etc/rc?.d stays behind. Is this a 'feature' for not accidently removing config stuff, or just some strange behavior?

DHCPCD

I'm trying to get debian working with DHCP, but something's wrong. The DHCP client loads at boot, and when I run ifconfig the eth0 unspec addr, Bcast and Mask all say '[NONE SET]'. What is RX resp. TX packets?

What do I put in my fstab to be able to mount the floppy with just 'mount /mnt/floppy'? Currently I have a line, but that one makes the system try to mount it at boot, which fails... Anders Ohrt

Mouse

I can't get my mouse to work... It's a standard MS serial mouse 2.0a, 2 button. It's connected to COM1. When running gpmconfig it says /dev/: Operation not supported by device, and then gpmconfig puts it som /dev/ttyS0, and I get another Operation not supported by device. Anders Ohrt

Oh, forgot one thing... I don't know what gfx card is in this box, has XF evolved since I tried it last, or do I still have to know what card it is? Anders Ohrt

ig or setup... Can I really have xf86 then? Anders Ohrt

Installing debian with DHCP

I want to install debian at a computer of mine here at work. I'm installing over ftp from a dist site. Now, I don't have a static IP, so I'd like to use our DHCP server during the install. Is this possible? I didn't find a way... Anders Ohrt
