Re: Please help! New Potato install
check your logs, everything you find in the directory /var/log, for
system info on what might be wrong. also, check your bios settings
regarding onboard or AGP video. apropos the modem, if it's truly a
winmodem, dump it. it's not your fault. it has to do with proprietary
issues being held back from developers. the main thing is, don't give
up. the thing to remember is that if it's a computer, it will eventually
run some version of linux. the psychological advantage of escaping bill
is worth all the frustration. post your logs, particularly dmesg and any
X logs, to make it easier for others to understand the problem.
