The installer booted fine, but now I'm getting a message that modules are missing: "No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel version available in the archive. If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem by choosing to install a different version of Debian. The install will probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules. Continue the install without loading kernel modules? <Go Back> <Yes> <No>" Oh: what X environment for this very old, but still working machine, is recommendable: I thought about some minimal X, extremely lightweight. Just xorg? How do I do this? Point is: I currently have Debian 8 installed on this machine, and X isn't working well. Just had it booted: crashed, and I had to use the off-switch to reboot ... No wayland, under no circumstances. Please! .. :) TIA Regards, Wolfgang -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
