Hello all... I'm relatively new to the whole linux thing, but I've been running debian 1.3.1 for about 1 month now with no problems, EXCEPT that I haven't been able to get X running smoothly with my ATI 3d rage II +DVD video card... could only get 640x400 with very lame picture quality. I tried the new s.u.s.e. mach64 server and it worked better (great resolution and picture during configuration) , but not good enough (had i/o problem with mouse - server wouldn't run after exiting from the configuration program (where, by the way, the mouse worked perfectly)...)
...so, I figure I'll try to upgrade to hamm (?). Ran the autoup.sh program (seemed to work except for a reported error with "slang"), then tried to run dselect via ftp (which has worked great for me several times) updated using the frozen_main (etc) - worked fine, updated info on approx 1500 packages... "selected" ALL (1st line). When I tried to execute "install", it reports that it "can't find packages for dist/frozen/main" (+contrib & non-free) "(rerun Update) nothing to get" this leads to reports of "processing downloaded files, package file is non-debian file" it does this again even if I update again (note that it never even attempts to download the packages, because it thinks that the package files are not debian files. I am using the default answers for every prompt (just like I have done successfully updating bo in the past). Any ideas on either (or both) problems?
