Re: Strange Debian-Install problem... and workaround

I had some problems like this, but basically they had to do with getting an unstable installation during the hamm beta. I haven't tried out the hamm release though. Unfortunately I do not know the direct solution to your problem. Hoping that it helps, I will go through some of the problems I

1998-07-28 Thread Geoff Brimhall
For disk partition stuff, use 'df' To know the size of a directory, use 'du -s /path/to/directory' To know memory stuff, there is a command line command (which I don't know), but I have found it the easiest to look at, with a shell text editor such as pico or joe, /proc/memory. Actually, a

I'd recommend Matrox's card, because it is one of the few which currently works well with ggi (which is still an alpha project, but *very* cool), in addition to X. -Original Message- From: Adam Klein [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org debian-user@lists.debian.org Date:
