Download a copy of ... After loosing a Notebooks FlatPanel (burned out drivers) installing XFree and two weeks trying to get this f...u. ICS to do what i want ... i'm now happily running debian on the desktop as THE server - you see what you do and it has documentation! and Loose98 on the Laptop. Now they both do best they can.
