I have now tried to install Debian 3 times without succes on an i586 which has run RedHat6.2 until I began my Debian experiments...
I have 2 good years experience with Linux through RedHat and have no problems with the course of the install. Every thing seems to be running as expected until I reach the last step where the configuration file for Xfree86 should be written, which apparently also seems to be done. It goes wrong when I try starting X: I get the message "/etc/X11/XF86Config wasn't written". I have checked it and it is not there. I have tried to run different programs to get it made but it wont work. The textmode seems to be working and I can navigate through the system without any problems. I have now tried to get around the problem by installing CorelLinux and this works painlessly. Can I upgrade this with Debian packages and apt-get? Or are the 2 systems too different to do so? In this case, how should I try to solve the problem? Thanks for the help that might come, Francois -- "We have taken the english language and perverted it from inside" -Brendan Behan, irish author. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
