This is what have wanted for so long ! Debian on my own box !!! The installation was a breeze, actually I just had to hit "Enter" all the way except when user and passwords had to be typed in and space when I had to select some choices. All the way the installer did find the right hardware etc. For a start I had to write "installgui" at the boot prompt. The GUI-installer is very nice except for some translation errors US > DA (grrr). At the end of the install were I was told to hit enter for ejecting the CD, I had to hit it 3-4 times before it finally pushed out the CD and the reboot could start. When I boot in to the freshly buildt debian it couldn't find the screen. I was prepared for this though because the ATI graphic cards are known to cause some troubles. John C here at this list pointed out to me that I should replace "ati" with "radeon" in my xorg.config. It worked perfectly!! When rebooting the X server aborted "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. giving up." This was last night, to day when I wanted to solve this issue the Gnome suddenly came up at my screen. *Stable* *Nice* *Uncluttered* Time for testing: Fire up Epiphany.......Im on the internet !! Via synaptic-asking for CD-yes-Installing Claws-email (which I have read a lot good things about)..... setting up my email..... YES mail !!!! Inserting my USB-stick.....contact-yes-copying some stuff to ~/..cool! Inserting my external harddrive....contact-yes-copying some music to ~/ !!
