xbase*.deb xserver-yourcard*.deb a-window-manager.deb some-apps.deb xlibg6*.deb is your card an ATI MACH64?, then d/l xserver-mach64*.deb. FVWM95 works fine if you really like to things ala '95. > 2.

XF86Setup or xf86config whichever one you prefer. XF86Setup has a graphical but you need the vga16 xserver. I think svgalib support MACH64's by now. Anyway I can run xaos on svga mode using a MACH64 card. Haven't tried if squake runs but xquake runs although much slower. > 4. how do I setup my Linksys PCI Lan Card II ethernet card?????? > 5. later...I will need WINE...any suggestions from the start See if your NIC is supported on debian.org website.
