Re: [PLUG] Xfree86 4.0


I just moved to debian last week and all i can see is *AWESOME*
I dl'd the floppies and did an install over my dsl line on 2 of my
computers so far.  Just one hint noone told me until after i discovered it
myself. after your up and running use apt-get and not dselect.  I've had
soooooo many problems with dselect.  I'm doing an apt-get upgrade right
now. 32/69 packages right now.  Just as a warning the current potato
install disks kernel seem to be mismatched from the pcmcia modules that
are included. If you are installing on a laptop just grap the debian
pcmcia modules and use them and you'll have no problem.
