Hi. I install Debian (potato) yesterday over a AlphaBios Machine (lx164) The installation ran fine and I could install everything that I need from a mirror (Canada).
Right now we a testing Debian in order to choose one unix-like OS to install in several Alphas workstations. We have found some problems. 1.- Gnome Panel doesn't install 2.- GDM is dying when booting (init level 5) The most important (critical) for us, are AMD related, that is, we are in a network enviroment (nis+amd+nfs) and when you boot the Debian Alpha system amd run well, but a little time after, your dinamically mounted directories get a read-only state, so you can't follow working on them. I think this occur after the first dinamical umounting. Some messages from logs: 1.- May 30 18:16:49 landau amd[234]: No fs type specified (key = "/defaults", map = ""root"" Thanxs in advance. "One help now means more GNU/Linux Machines." Miguel E.
