Re: Debian 2.0 Install
You probably want to use the multiple cd option. Your CD-Rom is most likely
/dev/cdrom or /dev/hdb for ATAPI or /dev/scd0 for SCSI. I would recommend the
KDE desktop manager, as you will probably find it very familiar and there is
alot of good documentation built in to it. I'm not sure if it automatically
gets installed. I usually have to install it after the rest is completed. You
can install it with dselect. Just hit a '/' in the selection screen to search
the database for all of the KDE packages. You theoretically don't need them
all, but it doesn't hurt anything. The best way to start your new kde is to
change to your new home directory ' cd ' with no arguments and create a file
called '.xinitrc' you can use 'ee' to do that, as it is the easiest editor and
is installed. .xinitrc should contain the line ' kde' . After that, just type
'startx' after you log in and it will start. There are plenty of better or
more elegant ways to start your kde, but this is the easiest (in my opinion).
Good Luck, and have fun.
