I've tried about 5 times to install Debian and every time has been a bust. I can never get te Xserver to run and Debian doesn't autodetect any hardware, it seems. Just installing K12 4.0.1 would be much simpler, even if he doesn't use the ltsp packages, and uses the machiens as standalone. The box on which I presently type is configured as such. I would never recommend a Deb install to a newbie... I have plenty of respect for their project and community, but, even with over 2 years using K12 and Redhat, I won't go near Debian, still. tony > > -bill! > > > _______________________________________________ > Subscription and Archive: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/open-source-now-list/ > - > For K12OS technical help join K12OSN: > <https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn> > -- Anthony Baldwin http://www.School-Library.net Freedom to Learn! -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GED$/L/P/FA d? s: a C++ L++ W++ N++ K- w--- M+ PS++ PE-- Y+ PGP- t+ tv-- b++(b++++) D?
