Re: Voodoo 3 2000
The first time I tried to install Debian on that machine, I installed the base system
from floppies. Then, when I tried to install X by issuing an 'apt-get install
task-x-window-system', I got an internal error after downloading the necessary files
(if I was still at a download speed <=56K, the machine wouldn't be in one piece
anymore, making my question moot). I think I'll obtain a CD and try again.
But say, don't you have to specify the card you want to use when you set the X system
up? Or did Debian autoprobe your Voodoo card? If you actually had to specify a card,
which one did you pick?
Thanks,
Juergen
