Wheezy installer problem

2013-08-15 Thread Robert Holtzman
After installing Wheezy 7.0 twice on different machines w/ no problems I can't get 7.1 to install in manual mode on my amd64 laptop. Everything is fine until I get to the point of writing partition changes to the disk. That's when I'm asked if I want to continue (yes) or return to the partitioner.

2013-07-12 Thread Robert Holtzman
In squeeze I was able to set up keyboard shortcuts in gnome using System-Preferences-keyboard shortcuts. In wheezy/lxde I can't find how to do this. Searching turned up a comment about editing a lxde-rc.xml file but I can't open it with anything except as a raw file which is unintelligible to me.
