Re: potential new Debian user
This is how I get a "desktop system"
Install Debian, set up everything including a new kernel.
Then:
apt-get install x-window-system x-window-system-core fluxbox
xf86config
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-old
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
startx
regards,
T.
