Re: New SkoleLinux Installation
Thanks for taking the time to explain the situation of the iso's.
I installed with sarge-i386-bzzware.raw, but could not get X to startup,
the errors were cryptic and an hour of googling did not get me any
closer to a fix.
I think I'll give sarge-i386-1.raw a try because it is the latest and it
could use some field testing. Beyond the reported debian-edu bugs,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=debian-edu&archive=no
, are there any other issues to look out for?
Thank you.
Michael
