Many thanks for all the notes As per various responses, the simple solution was to install sun 24 bit xserver. My (wrong) assumption was that as a fairly standard Sun box it would install from the CD without any intervention on my part - I was choosing the "simple" option and picking the X packages. Clearly too used to Solaris or getting lazy :)
After that, a glorious looking Debian logo in 24bit colour appeared on my 21" Sun Monitor running WindowMaker :-) I'm really impressed I suppose I can rebuild my S10 and S20 now as well :-O Cheers Howard -- Howard Glynn [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] AOL IM: "howgly" Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
