Hi,
3) when running debian on a laptop, is the ipw2200 package/code for wireless
devices available for debian as a package?
you'll find ipw2200 in the latest kernels, but proably you'll need to
manually insert firmware. You can find it at
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php
Byez, JoY.

Look at the rc.init scripts. REMOVE the one that's labeled gdm. When you
start the machine, it will go into text mode.

Remove the package gdm (apt-get remove gdm) or change the
/etc/rc?.d/S??gdm to K??gdm (or use the program update-rc.d to do this).

1. Whenever I start the machine it goes straight into GNOME desktop. How do
I stop that?
2. I need to tell it to make the screen 1024x768 instead of 800x600. How do
I do that?
3. Need to setup the system to use my Thinkpads Trackpoint mouse. How do I
do that?
