Re: small laptop with only floppy drive
another problem developed. i have stable installed. when i got it
installed it wont let me into the graphical interface due to the fact
that i think i chose the wrong install option. when i installed i
chose the vga driver option but then i chose the colors as 24. now it
wont boot into the graphical interface. i found a website to help but
cant figure out how to rpm the package into the directory. please
help. website is:
<http://www.hpcc.uh.edu/~tonyc/sony/linux-main.html>.
Thanks for any help u can provide. also there is no
/etc/x11/xf86config directory in my system.
