Any tips for a Toshiba 2805-S302 laptop? I'll be doing a network install. It's been a while since I installed Debian. Last time I installed woody on a desktop it took a few tries to get it.
On my desktop install I used the woody idepci boot disk which had my LAN driver for that machine. I believe the Toshiba has a Intel 82557 10/100 EtherPro (from http://pag.lcs.mit.edu/~adonovan/toshiba.html), but not 100% sure since that's a slightly different model. IIRC, I only need a single diskette to get to the network install part. I thought there was a list of files on the idepci disk, but I can't seem to find it now. Is the Woody idepci boot disk a good choice to start with? (Or is there a 2.4 kernel boot disk available?) The laptop should be desktop + development. On my last debian woody/sid experience I didn't use tasksel or dselect. Maybe I just got scared, but they seemed to install much more than I wanted so I just installed base and then did apt-get install to load the package. I'm sure that was the hard way to go. The other pain I remember was getting X's fonts to look reasonably OK. I remember installing true type fonts. I installed font servers, too, which I'm sure I didn't need to do. Is there a less painful path to get good looking fonts? Thanks very much, -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
