get a error message saying that some of the packages wont install
(trying again might solve this problem) but no ....... & if i do get
past this stage i get to the screen that asks what graphics card do i
have ..... when chosen (it is in the list) & i have finished with the
setup & reboot my pc i get to the screen asking for my login & password
( i have selected the x windows system in the selection of packages +
gnome or kde ) but after login i just get a # prompt, when i type start
x i get a message saying no screens found.. so i cant continue using
it, Could this be due to my AGP graphics card not being surported or
GRAPHIC CARD - ATI Radeon 700 AGP
OR NVIDA gforce 2 mx AGP
PS: Both of these cards have been tried both with the same message..
Do "lspci -v" and post the results of what video card is reported.
Post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
Run "apt-get update" and if that completes successfully, run "apt-get
upgrade". If that completes successfully, then run "startx
2>startx.log". If X still fails to start, post the contents of "startx.log".
