trapped in the throes of install...

Hi all,

I've downloaded the Debian 2.2r2 B1 image, and have been attempting to install it on a

Toshiba 1715XCDS Laptop. I've successfully repartitioned the Hard Disk, Installed the

kernel and created a user account, but I have 2 problems which are frustrating my efforts.

The first of these is the install when run with dselect indicated that XFree86 would be installed,

but I do not see the xf86config program /usr/X11R6/bin . The only files in that directory are

cardinfo and gxditview .

I would like to get X running, and I know that the graphics chips in the laptop support 800x600x16M colors at 60Hz,

but I am at a loss about what I need to do next. anXious doesn't recognize the chipset, probably because its an AGP

version. Others have had success with Toshiba laptops, so I think it's something I missed somewhere...

The second problem is that man is MIA... leaving me pretty much in the dark. in particular, I want to mount the cdrom

to see what's hiding on the B1 disk...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Nate
