Hello, Many thanks to all those who helped. I am now up and running 2.1 debian, using full 800x600 and 256 colors on my Thinkpad 560.
I am using the X that comes with 2.1, and it's fine. It took a lot of playing around, but I'm there. Sometime I will resume trying to get either external CDROM to work, but for now I have a lot of cool things to check out. Proud to be running debian Linux, John ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
