Initial boot:           [o]

Install boot loader:    [E] can't boot to non-x
Overall install:        [E] Can't run YouTube, can't run second screen

Comments/Problems: Very annoying that I can't get second screen up! I
have been messing with it all yesterday and most of today. I downloaded
the Nvidia driver and tried to install it. The first error was that it
wanted a file called "system utility ld". I looked all over for that and
couldn't find it. Sent a note to Nvidia, to which they did not reply. Of
course, it was Friday. (Note to follow)

Hi Nvidia!

I downloaded what I supposed is your latest driver package for my Nvidia
video card. I followed the instructions and the process started. However
if stopped with the message that it was looking for the system utility
"ld".

I couldn't find "ld" on the machine and I don't know where to download
it either. It isn't in synaptic.

The machine is an Intel 810 series, the graffics board, of course, is
Nvidia. The OS is Debian 5.

(end of note to Nvidia)

Next, I started posting on the internet, got some "you dummy sympathy"
from the guys I hang with all the time, but no one so far has known what
to do. One guy said he thought I would have to get a "full install" of
Debian, but that has stuff I'll NEVER need! I decided, though, to get
anything that might be a system module to have anything to do with the
kernal. It was 396 packages, took hours.

Now the Nvidia setup script gives me a different error (so I must have
solved the "ld" problem?) - it says I have x running and to shut it off.
I can't figure any way to do that.

Other distros I have used (Mepis, Gentoo) you could get to the full
black screen (s), sometimes when you didn't want to - (and couldn't get
back!), but I can't find that here.

So here I am, clunky root access, no second screen, no switching to
black screen and no YouTube. And No SPELL CHECKER for Evolution E-mail!

Iceweasel doesn't do YouTube either.

I wouldn't call that stupid. This is actually somethign we can't do
much about...which you certainly were'nt aware of. So, no harm at all.
