Hi,
I have an IBM Thinkpad 390E and have been trying to install Debian
2.1 on it for about two weeks now. I can install it no problem, except
that I cannot get X Windows configured correctly. I even updraded to
XFree86 3.3.5, and still can't get it to work (although I can get Red Hat
6.1 installed on it in my first try). The problem is that I don't want
Red Hat, I want to run Debian. I even had two linux engineers here where
I work try to get it running, and they had no success. I have checked out
linux resources for IBM Thinkpads on the net, and have also received
much useful information from this list. But, I think I am giving up on
slink. I may have to move to Red Hat, even though I don't want to. But
first I want to ask a question. I have never used an unstable release.
(And I am also a newbie). Is it worth giving Potato a try? Should Potato
make this problem easier to tackle for me? Or would the fact that it is
unstable, only make life more difficult?
Thanks,
Bryan Walton
