Many thanks to all of you for the compassion and the information. The little sucker is making pictures now - I learned a lot about X in the past couple days.
Next step is getting it to realize there's an Ethernet connector in it's (PCMCIA) NIC. But I expect that to be a pretty straightforward task now that I can actually use the machine and some of the configuration tools. I've got to agree with David Krider's complaints about the Debian install process. This isn't rocket science; it's just a hardware prober. If the 'lesser' distros can install in one try (and without rebooting several times), surely the mighty Debian can. This install process seems to be a test that must be passed in order to join the Debian community. OTOH, the first programming language I learned was assembly; LISP was the second. Everything's been pretty easy since then. Back to the entrance exam, and thanks again. -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
