How do I stop my 
Debian 2.1 machine kicking straight into X windows or how do I get out once it 
has.

I'm having problems 
and wish to boot to the command line.


Many thanks 
All

I'm still having 
trouble with myDebian 2.1.

I've managed to get 
the system up and running and X11 is running of a fashion.

My graphics card is 
not configured correctly (Matrox G200 AGP 8meg) and I understand that if I get 
XFree 3.3.5 that this will cure the problem,however I do not know how to get 
this and install it. Could you please help a 
newbie.


Best regards, 
Paddy

Help with configuring X Server

[Patrick J Draper]

Help, I am a Linux 
newbie,

I have gone through 
a Debian 2.1 installation, installed X Windows (X1186R6) and am now having 
extreme difficulty configuring and starting an X Server.

I go through the 
graphical XF86Setup program but when I select done and the server trys to start 
I get an error something like

"X11ConnectionUNIX 
cannot connecterrno 111"

Could someone please 
shed some light on this for me.


regards, Paddy.

Installation

[Patrick J Draper]

I'm trying to install Linux Debian 2.1 onto my 
machine.
It is a PII 350 with a new UDMA 20GBytedrive.

I currently use 
Partition Magic 5.01 pro to manage my partitions which are currently NTFS for 
NT4 and FAT32 for windows 98 SE.

I have read the 
installation manual for Debian and the 'Installing a new operating system' 
section of the partition magic manual.

No matter how I 
partition/set up my drive I or where I create the partition (I have tried 
primary and logical) get the same error when running the boot.bat file on the 
Installation CD.

Kernel Panic: Cannot 
Mount Volume.

then the machine 
stops. The system reports the drive type/technology and the partitions 
correctly.

I do just before 
that get an Adaptec 7000 not found message (I do not have any SCSI adapteros in 
the machine.

Could someone please 
tell me what (apart from still using Microsoft software) what I am doing wrong 
as I am struggling alot.


Best regards, 
Paddy
