Where are config questions in install of latest sarge, and other questions...
I checked the debian site for sarge release notes, and if they're there, I can't
find 'em, so it's back to the mailing list;-)
I had been running sarge since June, and I just did a complete reinstall of the
latest sarge (don't ask- it's embarassing), dated 11/17, I think.
1. It never asked me the hardware config questions I was used to with both
woody and sarge. What happened to them, how do I find out what device support
is installed, and get support for devices that might not be installed (i.e.,
download drivers for stuff- although now that I've said it, I guess they're just
apt packages, right?).
2. My desktop went from KDE to Gnome. Is this normal? Where do I set the
default desktop?
3. This machine is to be used primarily for software development. Any opinions
on which desktop is best for that?
4. I can't log in to the X desktop as root. Where do I fix that? Is this in
/etc/X11/config (I'm not at my Debian system)?
And now, I guess I'm off to learn about gnome...
