New installation (again!)
Greetings all ye Debians!
I gave it another go; installed Debian 2.2 'potato', this time only a
minimal installation although with GNOME, which turned out to be a flop
of course:
Errors were encountered while processing:
gmc
gnome-control-center
gnome-help
gnome-utils
gnotepad+
gs
gv
latex2html1
libgtkxmhtml1
libwraster1
When I was asked if the program should give it another try to install
these packages I said yes, but I'm not sure if it went through, I never
got any other messages about that.
GNOME turned out to be one small terminal (without a frame) in the upper
left corner of the screen, on a neutral- grey background, nothing else.
-----------------------------------------
The lp module would not install:
Installation failed
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o : init_module : Device or resource busy
Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parametres, including
invalid IO or IRQ parametres
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o : insmod/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o : insmod lp failed
My printer is a parallel port (lp0) Epson Stylus Color 640. I tryed
several times, with and without parametres.
------------------------------------------
wvdial didn't find the modem (I'm used to wvdial 'always' finding the
modem on first attempt!) which is a Diamond SupraExpress 56e PRO on
ttyS0.
-------------------------------------------
Window Maker seems to be the default window manager, what happened to
fvwm? I can't find it on the CDROM.
-------------------------------------------
I will be very grateful for all hints that can help me configuring this
wild potato.
Sincerely,
Helgi Örn
