Greetings all ye Debians! I gave it another go; installed Debian 2.2 'potato', this time only a minimal installation although with GNOME, which turned out to be a flop of course:
Errors were encountered while processing: gmc gnome-control-center gnome-help gnome-utils gnotepad+ gs gv latex2html1 libgtkxmhtml1 libwraster1 When I was asked if the program should give it another try to install these packages I said yes, but I'm not sure if it went through, I never got any other messages about that. GNOME turned out to be one small terminal (without a frame) in the upper left corner of the screen, on a neutral- grey background, nothing else. ----------------------------------------- The lp module would not install: Installation failed /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o : init_module : Device or resource busy Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parametres, including invalid IO or IRQ parametres /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o : insmod/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o : insmod lp failed My printer is a parallel port (lp0) Epson Stylus Color 640. I tryed several times, with and without parametres. ------------------------------------------ wvdial didn't find the modem (I'm used to wvdial 'always' finding the modem on first attempt!) which is a Diamond SupraExpress 56e PRO on ttyS0. ------------------------------------------- Window Maker seems to be the default window manager, what happened to fvwm? I can't find it on the CDROM. ------------------------------------------- I will be very grateful for all hints that can help me configuring this wild potato. Sincerely, Helgi Örn
