This's really nice. It's a Compaq Evo loaded to the gills, but it's had a lot of trouble with X Window lately (neither Debian's stable or testing grok the video correctly, and I can find no way to correct it there). Only Knoppix' and ELive's X work on it. "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" has no effect. Classic "Debian Gotcha". ELive's X is lovely.
Thanks for helping me fix my broken system! :-) I assumed either my vid card or monitor were dieing.
The ELive installer worked reasonably well (/etc is not one of the ptn options?!?); I figured it out. Nice system, pretty much everything works, and I'm looking forward to playing with it.
I don't agree with the installer's opinion of ext2. Servers need journaling, not user boxes. On a personal box, ext2 is the way to go. The others are too fat, and unnecessary. Why anyone would choose reiser* in this day and age, I cannot imagine.
Thanks very much. Cool system.
