When i started the whole installation once again everything seemed allright, till i came at 'install the OS kernel and modules' where you have to insert the rescue disk (it was already inserted). i got 'this is not the rescue floppy...'message. tried it again and again, nothing helped. I threw the floppy away, took another computer, rawrited2 resc1440.bin to it, this one didn't work either, nor did any other floppy.(all formatted 14.4 disks that allowed me to start the installation but stopped at the same point).So these are my questions: how can i get Linux to understand that i'musing the right floppies? how can i configure my CR-563 creative labs in the installation program? what is this message when i boot from a boot-floppy:'unable to open an initial console'?here are some technical details: MB: Sis85c47,BIOS: Award v 4.50G,12MBram, SB16 with CR-563B CDROM (proprietary), linuxver: Debian 2.1, kernel

RE: Banshee and X

There are drivers for both. For the ATI card, get the mach64 X server, it should support it. If have an AGP ATI RagePro that uses the mach64 server, and it works great. As for the Banshee, go to http://developer.soundblaster.com/linux/, you will find all sorts of Creative Binary-only drivers th
