Problem: Ok so i recently installed Debian (sarge) on an old gateway i have (pentium 1, 128mb ram, onboard video, 20gb HD, netgear ethernet card) with no problems. I used apt-get to download and install gnome. After doing so i used the startx command to start the GUI and it worked fine. One day, Bored. I wanted to try using debian on my better HP computer (AMD athlon XP 3000+, 1gb ram, Nvidia GeForce4 MX4000 video card, 160gb seagate HD, onboard ethernet) by taking the hard drive out of the gateway and replacing the seagate hard drive in the HP with it (Note: The hard drive is a 20gb western digital caviar). After logging in as root, i tried startx. It acts as if it's going to load (going to a black screen) but then it goes back to text mode and brings up some text. And at the bottom there is an error
Anyone have any idea what i can do? Would it help if i reinstalled debian on the HP while the 20gb was in so maybe it would configure it for that computer? Any help is greatly appreciatedXIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server
