I gave up.Hate to admit it. Yeah,they were old machines,but so what? I have come to the conclusion that you Debian's don't want your software to become main stream. I guess you want to feel superior & exclusive. You win. I will find another distro. Advice. Make it easier for people with legacy NVIDIA or ATI graphics to install.Goodby
When you say legacy, like a Athlon 64 (Pentium 4 equal) single core with
3GB ram, GeForce 8600GT with w/512MB, and a Vortex 8830 sound card? I
run it in Debian Stretch with Xfce. On the other hand, I have noticed my
GeForce 4000 no longer works. But, hey, even old computers have to stop
at some point. I just hope this PC Chips mother board gives me another
year or two.
