Trouble installing Sarge on M325X Gateway Laptop

Hi, Bought a gateway laptop. Can't get Sarge to install (I have a 14 CD set.) I really am not sure how to explain the problem, so if you could bear with me, I will try to explain what I tried to do. After wrestling with Win XP trying to dominate my disk, I managed to create logical partitions f

I'm a dial up user who purchased sarge on a 14 cd set. I'm buying a laptop and was wondering, is there a faq or howto anyplace on copying the whole distribution to a partition on a HD? It would be great to be away from home, and if a package is recommended to me to just be able to log into root a

Debian Dell Laptop Connectivity

Hi, All, (thanks to all who answered my last laptop post, this is a follow up) Been laboring over the laptop decision, and I am dedicated to doing this with debian, so hear goes. A lot of guys in my Linux SIG have the solution to throw money at the problem by buying laptops with pre installed li

Reading over the thread I have to hope that I did sound as if I were knocking Exim. I am sure it is a fine mailer. It just is not working. I am migrating from Woody to Sarge. In Woody, the initial install got internal email to work "out of the box." What do I mean by this? I mean you could s

Do I have to use exim?

Hrmm, looks like the best thing to do is explain what I am trying to do, and see if I get an opinion on how to do it best. Let's try this again. Exim looks like it can do anything, but also looks incredibly complex, like learning a computer language on it's own. I am looking to avoid spendin

Do I have to use Exim?
