Hi... Yesterday, I downloeaded the Debian Linux installation kit on floppies and installed it on my 486 at home. It was a breeze. However, there was one problem. At the time of installation, I hadn't plugged in the mouse (a Microsoft PS/2 serial mouse). I'm wondering if the plugging in of the mouse was crucial to the stage "Configure device drivers". Will I have problems while installing XFree86????
All I wish to use this PC for is dialling up to my university and working remotely. I have not purchased a modem yet. Could someone please tell me a)what kind of modem I should buy b)how to configure it *I do not have a DOS partition on my hard disk. I only have a Linux native and a Linux Swap partition* c)how to configure PPP support. All I have installed right now is just the base system. I have just 116Mb on my hard disk and 16Mb of RAM. So I set aside 100MB for the Primary Linux Partition and 16Mb for the swap. I'm wondering if I'll have enough memory to install the bare XWindows system.
