This is the thread that never ends it keeps going on and on my friend
some person started it not knowing what it mess it would cause and they
will continue adding to it just because this is the thread that never
ends. ( repeat 7000 times)
Now I normally dont defend Debian as a very serious Slackware user, but
I have migrated a couple of my more distance servers to debian for ease
of administration. Which I happen to like alot.
For the post a couple up from mine that went with 14disk and had this
and that, blah you must of not read very well as it ask you to specify a
monitor type and card type. And even if you did not know which driver
went to you card you could of always used Vesa unless the card is really
really old like early SVGA cards with a whole whoping 256 colors.
I am sick and tired of people whining about ncurses gui that slackware
and debian happen to use there is nothing wrong with it, it is just
people have brainwash a large group of people into beliving if it is not
a pretty gui then it is too hard to install and get working. B.S. and I
dont mean Bryan Smith.
So just go back to your redhat or Mandriva, Suse, or what ever else xyzl
over guied installer linux, ( not as there is anything wrong with them
as there all fine distrobutions even if i dont like two out of the 3)
and be happy word of advice though if you do try debian again I cant
beat it enough into peoples head to use the net install, even on
Verizon's cheap plan as i call it 14.95 768/128 package you have a
full pretty desktop a little over an hour and 90 with very little user
intervention.
