Re: Newbie:dpkg,dselect,apt?
Thanks for your help Kent. The Xfree86-server, xbase-clients etc were
installed a few weeks ago as part of the main installation. X was nearly
going on this computer-I could see the Debian motif but resolution was
wrong, hence updating of these drivers, not the whole system. I was
expecting to tackle the dialup once I had X going. I'll have a go as you
suggested.
You're right about the home-made CD. Brother has broadband, I have
skinny. The CDs are free, he put XFree86 4.2 source & binary on there as well.
Better yet, either get a real Debian CD (Woody- or Sid-flavoured for X
4.1.x), or get your network (modem) connection working. I would
Right from day one, my problems have been associated with the versions that
came on install CDs (latest stable iso's of about six weeks ago)-had to
update grub from 0.5 to 0.91, now XFree86 etc...
