watching, could you include a warning in the relevant section (6.3.4)
please. A comment on the screens relating to setting up the swap may
also help future users.
I hope to come back to Debian (probably via LMDE) later.

Please ignore my idiocy on my last post. I was logged in as the wrong user and

I know I'm going to get a lot of responses to the tone of "read the how-to" or
"check the archives" but I have to post my question anyway, as I have done both
and I'm still clueless.

me.

i could not possibly agree more with Eric on this one. People are so
spoon-fed on GUIs that tell you how to do everything. When you use something
like Linux you need basic computer knowledge or you learn the hard way. It
isn't "easy" but it's fun once you get used to it.

I've tried installing, tweaking and otherwise USING many different dists,
including redhat and slackware aside from debian... never found one yet that
was easier or more convenient, but maybe that's just my opinion.
debian was the first dist i ever installed as well as my first linux
experience. i

this happened to me once... i had to reinstall the xfontbase ( i think thats
it) package. maybe this will help you. you could also try to locate a font
called fixed (i think its in misc in the X11 fonts, or maybe in
/usr/share/consolefonts?) and do a mkfontdir in that directory.

i believe .xinitrc is used when you dont use xdm, and the other is for if

i run potato with glib6-2.1.1 and kernel 2.2.7. and i have no problems to
speak of, although i did with the first release of potato. i also haven't
noticed any significant problems with any packages. if you want an opinion,
here's mine: my system is much faster, more useful, and just as stable now
what i do to find specific files in packages is go to http://www.debian.org,
packages area, and near the bottom there's 2 searches. first is for
packages, second one you can look for specific files IN dists. works for me.

as i said i had the same problems with slink. as i replied privately to
roddie, this time problem i had in slink coincided with the breaking of my
linker. i really don't know WHAT caused it, but every time i used apt to try
to upgrade to potato it broke my linker and my time was messed up. in the
boot with a boot disk and run fdisk and tell me what the partition table
says. which partition is marked as active, and what types it thinks they all
are. when you use the floppy, does it give any messages? how do you boot
from the floppy EXACTLY? do you have to type anything, etc, or just type
win
