Damn, I wish I would have been able to make it yesterday, considering I've gotten back into debian for the first time in many, many years.

You're talking about the nvidia binary X drivers, correct? Those would work fine for me while in X, but the screen would get distorted once I leave X. It's not hurting anything, and most of the time you can still see enough data on the console to do things, but nvidia has never fixed the problem or even really acknowledged it. However, it only seems to happen with the 2650 line. Alternatively, you can use the "nv" driver included with X, but the drawback is no DRI/xv support. > Worse, I can't figure out how to continue the install w/out X. Huh? debian-installer is all curses based, as is the second stage base-config. Where exactly do you need X to configure the system? > I'm also pulling down the FC2 iso's.
