Hi all,
Debian is the last major distro on the 2.0.36 kernel. I like it because it
loads, runs like its supposed to and its free as in free speech.
Where is there some info on what potato is supposed to be? From the
description of broken bits obviously its planned to be very different from

Thanks to everyone who replied on this topic. I should mention that not
all of my prev. failed installs were from a cd, a couple of times I
downloaded a "base set" from the ftp site.
But the important thing is, ok if "bo" is stable and "hamm" unstable, how
did the use of these terms originate? Alo
I wish you luck, Robert. I had used the previous few sets of CD from
Infomagic to install Debian. My memory reminds me that Infomagic
is BAD for Debian !! There were important packages, for instance
I can remember that xlib6_3.2-1a.1.deb which I thought is quite
important nowadays wasn't in the Apr

Yes, precisely. Be nice to the user by taking note of what bothers him,

Be nice to the user, please.
I wish they'd just used the Official CD images, or at least the program
that generates the Official CD images. They'd have a bootable CD in that
case, and you would not need any floppies at all.

start. '/usr/X11R6/lib' needs to be added to /etc/ld.so.conf

Read the manpage for XF86Config, you need a section called modules, but I
