3rd Attempt at installing Debian
After doing a bunch of ugly things for a second time to get a Debian
system installed and running I'm trying a third time.
There is no networking. I need to build a module for my nic which
doesn't have a .deb package. I have the source but need the kernel
source which wasn't installed. I discovered that unilike what many
people told me I don't need to rebuild the kernel.
I also need to figure out why X isn't working.
There is also no mouse detection.
Whenever I boot it it tries to start X. Several error messages. This
is a hassle.
Before I do anything else I'd like to stop this. I know it has
something to to with something called "runlevel" What do I put in
what file to change this.
