Re: Problems starting the X-server
Hi guys,
I tried to install yellowdawg -- but it failed. So next I tried
deb-eye-an ( i was going to try them all )
Got deb working on text only, so then I mounted the ydl images on a loop
mount and found this config tool -- it got ~my~ imac working proper:
I am sure this is GNU and I posting it. Since I dont have the source
code yet -- this is an internal distribution !!
