Sorry, I didn't notice you are doing 2.2.r5. The solution I
recommended is not available with that version which is
affectionately known as potato. You will need to specify
woody in place of debian in your source.list file (/etc/apt).
It will take some experimenting to get it just right. You can
There is a NVIDIA driver available through dselect.
Search for kernel and you will find it. After you have
installed it, dselect should take you into the xserver setup

Apt-get is a great tool, however it insists on installing everything in /usr.
Which means that it is

Potato had a special version for ide adpater cards.
It looks like woody does not yet. I get about
half way into the boot process and the woody

the hard drives attached to the card. Looks ominous.
Is woody going to support these cards?
