I have been using Blackbox ever since I got into Debian, mostly because it is so small and fast. I use it with xterms, graphics, word processing and simulations. It's great for low power beasts. I had a problem with it only on one machine, where it routinely but spontaneously shut down X, and

Hi, All! This post will summarize installation of Debian Sarge on Toshiba Libretto 110CT. Thank you, Digby and Kevin, for your help. I did not use your suggestions directly, but you gave me ideas which got me thinking in the right direction. The main problem with Libretto 110ct is that it

Hello! I have been trying to install Sarge on Toshiba Libretto 110ct for weeks with no success. I gravely need someone to take me through it, as I feel that I've tried everything and can't think of anything else to do. The laptop had an empty hard drive and external PCMCIA floppy and cd

Hello, Digby and Kevin! So far the agreement between you guys and my other linux-friends seems to be that I should pull the hard drive and install on another system. I will do that as a last resort, because I will probably have a nightmare of a time configuring it on the libretto with all
