It should be only a remark ... my intention was to think about the pain
for different setups. The current layout is 'text' based (select mono/color,
keyboard, ...). But for X11 ??

How do you do!
Thank you very much for Alpha Jensen AXP support. But I'm walk through
documentation and don't find information how to install Debian on this
monster.
Can you send me an instruction and sites where I can download Jensen
specific
images?
best regards,

I'm trying to install potato from floppies (onto a laptop that doesn't
have a CD drive). 100% reliably and repeatably, I get the following

Hi,
I am installing Debian Potato on a 486DX at the moment and when trying
to add the 3c509 driver with io=0x300 irq=0x10 to the kernel I get the
following errors:

Modularization is specified for retrievers but I fail to see how that
is going to address, say, installation over the network for i386 boxes
(providing perhaps modules for NIC cards) or installation via pcmcia

two things:
1.) it seems that debian (or the install program) won't accept certain
characters for passwords -- namely '\'...
(i chose passswords with those in them, and then found that I was unable
to login later.. )
2.) Is there a way to put /usr on a different partition?
thanks,

Those arn't protocols. Debconf is object oriented perl code, and you're
seeing objects use other objects. But all such stuff is
