Re: wtf? (long and frustrated)
Many thanks to all of you for the compassion and the information. The
little sucker is making pictures now - I learned a lot about X in the
past couple days.
Next step is getting it to realize there's an Ethernet connector in it's
(PCMCIA) NIC. But I expect that to be a pretty straightforward task now
that I can actually use the machine and some of the configuration tools.
I've got to agree with David Krider's complaints about the Debian
install process. This isn't rocket science; it's just a hardware prober.
If the 'lesser' distros can install in one try (and without rebooting
several times), surely the mighty Debian can. This install process seems
to be a test that must be passed in order to join the Debian community.
OTOH, the first programming language I learned was assembly; LISP was
the second. Everything's been pretty easy since then.
Back to the entrance exam, and thanks again.
