Hi,
I have a AMD FX64 machine and I want a Linux OS on it. I tried
to install Suse 10 but it turned out to be unstable. It would reboot
itself when I ran some program on it. And that's why I changed to
Debian since people said it is more stable. However, the installation
did not seem to be as easy as that of Suse. So I am wonder if it is
appropiate if I ask some installation question here.
I first burn two DVDs and for some reason it did not work.
Then I burn a net install CD and boot with it. I got the basic
installation done! But After rebooting, when I tried to install other
things, I can't get the network working. I tried different mirrow
sites, they all failed. So I guess it is someting wrong with my config.
Actually, what I need is simply. A network and a windows
manager (KDE) so I can run some program like Matlab. The machine is at
University, so the network should be fine. I just don't know how should
I config it. I think I should use dhcp. It seems to me that I
need to make the internet work at first, then I can modify the
sources.list and install other things.
Would someone give some clue on how to do it? Thanks in advance.
