Hi I'm a Newbie. Just got a copy of "Offical Debian GNU/Linux" along with a CD with version of 2.1. I've got the OS up and running and I'm learning how to get around in the command line. I'm trying to install xbase -> now XFree86 X-window support. I "deslect" the proper packages (I think) and immediately after install it starts to ask a few questions (i.e. vga-16 as default, olvwm as default etc) but never gets into hardware questions. I get an installation complete message, and when I try to start (startx, xinit command) I get missing "config" file messages along with places Linux has looked for it. I moved a config file to the correct place and now I'm getting messages concerning keyoard configuration. HELP!!! Where can I find info on writing a proper config file WITH EXAMPLES PLEASE. Any help or even pointing me in the right direction would be great. |---------------------------| | Phil Beder | | Phil@brainlink.com | | www.brainlink.com/~phil | |___________________________|
