Comments/Problems:
After rebooting (when I assumed the desktop would be displayed), gray/white blinking horizontal lines appeared on the screen for several seconds, and they were replaced by black and light green horizontal lines. After restarting the computer, the same thing happened. I reinstalled Debian two more times, using two different monitors (an LCD and a CRT) with the same results. I assume the problem may be caused by my video card, an NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 (32 MB), which I've read is a troublemaker. During at least one of the installations, I chose to install the "nv" driver. Fedora Core installed with no trouble the previous evening. Tonight I'll install MEPIS and Libranet.
