Cool, let's do it! What do you want it to do?
Pointers: First, use a network install. It's part of the debian installer and it works well. Then, use dselect, which does all the apt-monkey for you. /etc/apt/sources.list has all of your mirror sites. When you are in select "/" calls a search "+" selects a package for install. Every now and then, do an "apt-get update" followed by an "apt-get upgrade". If you don't get X working first try, let Knoppix or Mepis figure it out and copy the XF86Config-4 parts you need. Sarge (testing) is working well but Woody (stable) is a rock. What you want to run depends on what you need to do. Have fun! On Thursday 25 March 2004 20:02, Shannon Roddy wrote: > Well...
