Wireless and kernel 2.6
Hello all, I would like to ask you how to setup my wireless adapter using Sarge with a Kernel 2.6 series. It is a Presario 2580US P4 notebook that came with a on board HP WLAN 54g W450 wireless adapter. It currently has SuSE 9.0 but I haven setup wireless. To make it simple I would like to erase SuSE and move it to Debian. Has anyone done wireless setup before? Help or input is much appreciated. Shall I build a custom kernel to it? What would be the correct driver? Thanks, Charlie. __ Switch to the New Netscape Internet Service. As low as $9.95 a month -- Sign up today at http://isp.netscape.com/register Netscape.

new to Debian
Hello all, Although I am using Linux for some time I am interested in learning Debian. I would like to know if you could point me good sources on the web for documentations, hacks, tricks on how to setup multimedia, etc besides the Debian install documentation. Any help is apreciated.

Migrating to Debian: questions
Hello All, I am new to Debian but I have been using Linux since 1995. I enjoy the idea of Debian that offers total independence so I am willing very much to learn it well. I have installed 3.0R2. It installed kernel 2.2 instead of 2.4. Now, how can I use apt to have the 2.4 installed? Also, how can I change the sources.list to upgrade my system to the new packages like gnome 2.6, KDE 3.3, Mozilla 1.7, etc. I have installed the base system and then did the X window installating followed by KDE. Everything works but KDE fonts are nasty. How can I fix the fonts? Download more fonts, or shall I say the appropriate fonts? How can I setup the sound? Is there any howto? I have installed ALSA with apt-get but the system does not detect my hardware. Where shall I go for help? In order to have Kernel 2.6, I guess I have to compile it manually myself, right? Well, that I have done before. Or can I do it with apt-get. Thanks in advance. __ Switch to the New Netscape Internet Service.

Best Base system install
Hello all, What bootable ISO CD shall I use (where to download it) or maybe a bootable disk to freshly install Debian? What I want is to install a base system with ext3 partitions (therefore I need a bootable CD iso that can do the Debian Install procedure to partition the HD using ext3 not ext2)? Once I have the base system installed, then I will do the packages installations online as I did before. I wonder what are the good Debian ISOs repositories. I would prefer to use newer packages so do you recomend to use a Sarge install ISO? Thanks again. __ Switch to the New Netscape Internet Service.

Questions about x window environment (kdm and xdm)
Hello all, I have installed Sarge with the netiso cd and then installed x-window, kde, mozilla and everything to have a working desktop. I have later installed xdm and kdm and changed /etc/inittab to have run level 5. When it starts it tries to run kdm but then crashes. If I type manually then either xdm and kdm work. What do I need to edit/change to overcome this problem? The message I get after it boots is: Starting K Desktop Manager: kdm Not Starting X display manager (xdm); it is not the default display manager. Then it shows the text login screen. It looks like that it is trying to load both kdm and xdm. Can anyone point me the way how to solve this? Thanks, Charlie. __ Switch to the New Netscape Internet Service.

How to setup sound under Debian
Hello all, I would like to understand how to setup sound under Debian. I am using a 2.6.6-1-686 kernel and I have noticed that there are no alsa modules for this kernel on the online repositories that I am using. So, how do I set it up? Are there any updated howtos? I am enjoying using Debian, discovering how it works. As soon as I setup this desktop I will remove SuSE from my notebook and use Debian.

optimizing X configuration
Hello all, I have a Toshiba PII Equium 7000S desktop with 256mb of Ram and an inboard ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP that has 32mb shared memory configured to it. The monitor is a Gateway EV910 and is properly configured in my XF86Config-4. However I can only do 800x600 with either 16 or 24 bits of depth. I would like to do more. Do I have to buy another video card or is there any way to improve this configuration? PS: I am not attaching the XF86Config-4 file not to send a bigger email.
