apologies for my post yesterday new ignorant user, who has broken both her wrist and her debian plus did not think I was ready yet for your list.
over the weekend my capable linux buddy installed woody for me, its my tenth + try with linux (I think I am cursed.. we have previous tried red hat, suse, mandrake, caldera, and half a dozen other distributions all crashed or became unworkable) Anyways we installed wonderful debian over two days. We installed only stable packages and I also checked out the list of favourites and choose some of them. My hard working friend went home. But then the desk bar/task bar stated to flicker and disappear under my user mode in KDE. Root seemed ok, so did gnome. I repeatedly rebooted and restarted it feebly trying to get control. At last I shifted it to the roof of the monitor and it seemed to stabilise. Next the mouse began to flicker, large boxes across the desktop flashed and applications seem to started themselves and the mouse became unuseable mr spocks grip did not work I pulled the plug. restarting the file system is corrupted it is unable to correct things automatically and asks me to do it manually but alas I am a techno dummy. my system is a self built pent 3 dual processor 524 memmory. Partitioned with win 2000, debian3 (no swap), beos 5, beos max and a fat 32 partition..mounted on all my OS's as a cross roads. any advise is the a good place for novices and debian/linux dummies to get help. I have brought obtained about 7 debian/linux references I really hope I can conquer my bad luck. much thanks for your patience zoe >Today's Topics: > unsubscribe [ "zoe" < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] > >Date: Mon, 01 Sep 2003 06:47:43 GMT >From: "zoe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
