When I do the Ctrl+Alt+F1, go back to the console mode, and work, none of the network functionality seems to work! i cant do a ftp or http etc.,
why is this so. I get the strong feeling that for a normal user like me who doesn't bother too much about setting up X (its configuration etc) GNOME is a much better alternatine. I am sure in GNOME there's no config files needed to set-up clients, or are there?? thanks all for the feedback so far. praveen kamath On Mon, 25 Dec 2000, Hubert Chan wrote: > > --- Kamath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > All-- > > > > I installed debian 2.2potato on my laptop, I installed XFree86 and with > > that the ctwm window manager.
