The first time I tried to install Debian on that machine, I installed the base system from floppies. Then, when I tried to install X by issuing an 'apt-get install task-x-window-system', I got an internal error after downloading the necessary files (if I was still at a download speed <=56K, the machine wouldn't be in one piece anymore, making my question moot). I think I'll obtain a CD and try again. But say, don't you have to specify the card you want to use when you set the X system up? Or did Debian autoprobe your Voodoo card? If you actually had to specify a card, which one did you pick?
