I've reinstalled my machine in work with Debian (woody). Only the X
configurator seems busted - it makes a ~root/XF86Config.new file, and
tries to start up with that - only it makes one with no modelines, so
breaks. I hand edited the file, and started up X. Then tryed to run the X
config tool again. It picked up the display, and expected
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to be there. So I copied the XF86Config.new to
there, and it's getting there. Now the config tool just says "Can't open
cards database". Any idea what's the story ?
So far, I really like debian. It asks a lot of questions, but that means
less brain dead defaults. It installs exim, instead of sendmail
(human-readable config file!). It's a huge amount better than it used to
be. And I love apt-get (and Mr Rynne's FTP server, of course)!
