Hi all- I just received my slink CDs (yay!) and installed without any problems (that I know of yet). I purchased a Matrox Millenium G200 video card and I was informed from an response that I needed to upgrade my X packages to 3.3.3 and that the .debs were at http://master.debian.org/~vincent/xfree-3.3.3.1/ . I downloaded what I thought to be the necessary files:
rstart_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb rstartd_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb twm_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xbase-clients_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xbase_3_3_3_1-0_all.deb xdm_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xext_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xf86setup_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xfonts-100dpi_3_3_3_1-0_all.deb xfonts-75dpi_3_3_3_1-0_all.deb xfonts-base_3_3_3_1-0_all.deb xfree86-common_3_3_3_1-0_all.deb xfs_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xlib6-altdev_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xlib6-static_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xlib6_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xlib6g-dev_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xlib6g-static_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xlib6g_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xmanpages_3_3_3_1-0_all.deb xmh_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xserver-common_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xserver-svga_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xserver-vga16_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xsm_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xterm_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xvfb_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb I determined what I needed by browsing through the Debian package listings on the Debian site and noting what packages were required for installation. I then installed all af the above (by executing dpkg -i * within the download directory) except for: xext_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xlib6-altdev_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xlib6-static_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xlib6g-dev_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb (I can't remember if I installed this or not) xlib6g-static_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb xvfb_3_3_3_1-0_i386.deb which I moved to another directory. Everything installed okay, but when I ran XF86Setup, I got an error message: Not all of the X keyboard extension programs adn configuration files are installed. The file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/README is missing. I checked that directory and it was empty. Why would the directory be created and nothing put in it? I checked the Contents.gz file on my CDs and couldn't find any files that might correlate with this one. Anyone know where the package is that I need to install to solve my problem? TIA, Mark
