Hey all,
I am trying to figure out a way to install Debian woody on my computer
that currently runs Redhat 7.0.9 (fisher). The problem with installing
woody clean is that I would be installing to a ATA-100 controller, and
two drives, in raid 0. This is what i am running currently with redhat.

yup, once a week is a good idea unless you subscribe to

Thanks Tim,
I got my mouse working with the GUI but when I start X it doesn't work.
Also I can't quit X. I hit ctrl+alt+backspace and it quits and brings me to
the text mode but than the log-in pops up again.
It's like X just keeps trying to restart itself.
Any ideas?

I would have to say that many of us do the invisiable ray thing but that it is
without malice and that we don't know we do it. I know I do and I also know
that I feel bad and try to correct it when I do. But many of us are just stupid

Unfortunately, it's possible that the pa
I am trying to fix a problem which yields an error when XF86_SVGA is run. The

I had the same problem which was solved by turning off "Plug and Play OS
Support" (or something like that) in the BIOS. Worked like a charm after
that. I got the info from somewhere on the website listed for the
driver. More information is there if that doesn't solve the problem (look
in the docs f

it is possible to safely use unstable, if you can resist the urge to
update at least once a day. wait a few days (2 or 3) between updates.

If the source is compatible with older libraries, you should be able
to build a deb with minimal effort. I have done this for several
programs, but it won't work where the source code is only compatible
