XFree86 4.2 (binaries) over XFree86 4.1 (Debian) - Mini-HOWTO
Hi, on my laptops I have encountered some troubles with XFree86 4.1, so I wanted to try the new 4.2 release. Since there are no Debian packages available yet, I have decided to install the binaries from XFree86. Please note I respect the reasons of the package maintainer I just couldn't wait. The installation seems easy but I have written down the complete process here http://mobilix.org/debian_xfree42.html Werner -- |=| Werner Heuser = Keplerstr. 11A = D-10589 Berlin = Germany |=|T. 0049 - (0)30 - 349 53 86 |=| http://MobiliX.org Linux and BSD on Mobile Computers |=| http://Xtops.DELaptops+PDAs pre-installed with UniX |*| This is no time for phony rhetoric -- Lou Reed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Can't boot a Toshiba Tecra 510 from any rescue floppy image in debian-30p8
I haven't tried to install Debian in a while, but I'm thinking of moving from Redhat/Mandrake to Debian when Woody comes out. I used jigdo to form a CD for debian-30p8-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso and first tried making all the floppies in idepci set but the rescue floppy wouldn't boot my computer. When I put the floppy I used to install Redhat 7.3 back in that booted fine. Then I tried "find | grep rescue" and made all the floppy options possible and none of them booted either. I remember there used to be Tecra Images in Debian 2.2 (or earlier?) to prevent a cycling problem (related to bzImage or something like that). But I've searched the net and debian.org for Woody Tecra images and I don't see anything. Does anyone have an older Tecra that they are running Woody on? I followed a bit of the KDE 3.0/Xfree86 4.2 Debian news and at first I was thinking I should stay with Redhat. But KDE is now slow as molasses on my Tecra and I have to run with option noaccel using Xfree 4.2 anyway so I'm sure 4.1 is going to be fine. I'm going to have to switch to a lighter DE/WM - perhaps Rox on IceWM or WM2 (I didn't care for XFCE) - any advice on that front?
