Dear listers, used the cdrom as a rescue disk, read the lilo.conf man pages carefully foud that I was not pressing Shift fast enough - thats all. 1. Now I would like to configure xserver. Error message was - Vertical refresh not specified [null] I had enetered vertical & horizontal syncs correctly, through manual (samtron 55v). But couldnot get xserver up.
2. Another query what is the difference btween Woody sid & potato types of debs ? Any help is appreciated. ~Sachin ----- Original Message ----- From: Dr. Sachin Kale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 9:59 PM Subject: [LIH] Installing debian -success & failure. > Dear list members, > Back after some gap.I am not comp. pro I am a medical doctor by > profession & this is a hobby thing-- > > This is my story... > > successfully created a new pri dos partition by resizing my original > partion - without loosing anything.
