RE: first installation,cannot find default font
Hello,
Hum that's the second time I ask a question, and just when I see the mail
returning to I foudn the answer. I hope you will forgive that ;-)
There is a spelling error in the xf86config program. When it asking for the mouse
it propose /dev/tty00 and it has to be /dev/ttyS0 (for com1). Also it propose
just /dev/mouse but that certainly dont works.
I found that desktop start with startx.
Also I seems to have only 16 color, but before I ask again in panic I will try a
little more myself, please forgive me !!
rgds, Wilfried
