hello list. i have decided to make the plunge from installing linux on my secondary computers, machines that dont matter if they are down for weeks at a time, to installing on my main workstation.
unfortunately it is not going well so far. with bootable cds inserted, i get to the debian installer menu [install, graphical install, ...]. after choosing and option, any option i am greeted with a big black screen. in which nothing happens. no spinning drives, no blinking lights, nothing. not even after 8 hours. my though was perhaps it is my 6.0.2 cd, so i attempted to install from my known-to-be-good 5.0.2 cd. same issue. gparted also behaves this way after choosing its menu option. has anyone attempted a debian install using a quadro 5600 card? i suspect that for some reason. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
