Hi,
My system is based on the Musix distribution, that is based on
Knoppix
and Debian, and was updated to newer Debian releases. Currently, the
default is not generating xorg.conf [7] (the system tries to detect
the
video hardware at each boot), but that was not working in my laptop.
Then I used some scripts from Musix/Knoppix to generate a valid
xorg.conf [8] . Be sure to have installed the Vesa modules for X
and/or the
suitable X modules for your video hardware. You may try `Xorg
-configure` to try to generate a /etc/X11/xorg.conf [9] file.

My video - the data on the DOS partition is essential to me. It
is obvious that the FAT table has been corrupted, and therefore I do
not know where the DOS files are. They may be in the Linux
partition. That is why I cannot do an install on that disk.
I] I have an option, though I know it will be tedious:a] Mirror the
hard drive to 2 usb drives. Put one awayb] Install sid on another hard
drive.c] Mirror the sid drive to another usb drived] Have Debian Live
CD in the CD Drivee] On the sid drive create a user - ethan f] Boot
from the CD. g] Copy one directory tree from the USB drive to the sid
drive. h] Boot from the sid drive i] repeat g font-family:arial,
sans-serif;font-size:13px;"> j] when it fails, replace the directory
tree from the sid usb and copy one subdirectory from the usb drive
untill it fails. k] fix the bad subdirectory l] repeat i, j and k
until the usb drive has been totally copied.
I know it will be long and tedious, but, hopefully it will work.
It could be that I should not have to copy everything from the usb
drive. In that case, what should I copy?
II] Where can I download [an iso?] of sid that I can use for
installation?
TIA
Ethan
