i guess i have to comment on this one,
when you run gpm with X your mouse will NOT work
i allways do a
gpm -k
before starting X
i'm also aware this is an issue wich can be resolved but i thought it'd be
worth mentioning
greetings,
joris

my one cent's worth:
If you managed to get debian installed without X anyway, you might try to
get the mouse working first.
1) Install (with 'dselect') gpm-package and run 'gpm-config'.
and next maybe try to find out, if your 'Voodoo' -card is supported.
(you can look at the long list of 'xservers' by using 'dselect')
2)
Then install (with 'dselect') (trying to get X working):
xf86setup
xserver-common
xserver-vga16
and
xserver-for your 'voodoo'-card (look at the list of all xservers, maybe
you'll find it, perhaps someone knows, if is supported or not)
and
one of the x-window-managers
and run 'XF86Setup'
