Right there on the Debian download site...you may wish to look a bit harder.

Great HOWTO Mr. James, have it setup now on my computer running Wheezy.

Of course! The shop where I work, I often have to open and fix the files that the their computers can't deal with. Usually it is due to file formatting issues. Not bad for a SHIPPER.....not the computer tech. LOL

OK, based on what you have said, somehow you have managed to create a non-booting disk. Try burning it again, and if that fails, try re-downloading the image. All else fails, do non-disk install.

Well, I saw a few themes I liked...but I can not say that over time I would always enjoy them. So, I would have to cast a vote for the offering several choices of themes, so we members may choose the one that better works for us. That said, and since I have no idea what is involved in setting it up ...

Like most here, once I discovered that the forums were down, I promptly proceeded to assume the fetal position and rocking while hiding under my desk! :shock: :shock: Once I got past that, I advanced to the frantically withdrawal type behavior of seaching for any and all evidence of the return of th...

OK, I have to admit, while I am very happy that the forum is once again up, I am less than impressed with the new look. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for all the work that was done to not only fix/configure/save the forum, I find the new layout uncomfortable and difficult to follow......

OK to start at the beginning, do you know what the soundcard it that you are looking to not load...if so, then run in a terminal man modprobe.conf once you have that....let us know if it worked....if you don't know how to figure out what module you don't want, let us know and we will try to help you...

If you know what the sound card is, just blacklist it so Debian does not load it...

Just for the record....applications>system>configuration editor>apps>metacity>general>composition_manager

OK, my two cents worth....update to Etch or even better Lenny....just maybe you will find that it all now will works...if it doesn't, post back what the card is with the info from Then we can give you correct (better) direction.

Network Manager in Debian is quite old, 0.6.6 I think, whereas Opensuse and Ubuntu are on version 0.7 which is much better.

0.7.0-1 is in the experimential repository...choice wisely...

OK, try telling us what the particulars are...are you using Gnome, KDE, LXDE, XFCE, what? What file type is it ogg, mp3, wav, well? If it is not a wav or ogg, you can either convert it, or install and add the script to your login. On Gnome, just do your "configure login" and find the tab t...

OK, I do believe it all depends on your favorite songs format....Gnome does ogg, and wav...but doesn't handle mp3..... I am sure the same it true for most of the Dm's out there (but would love to be told otherwise.)

Well, 39....but going on either 20 or 60 depending on who you ask.

OK, well, I usually use Gnome, so the drive is automounted after ntfs-3g has been installed, and I have mounted the drive the first time...or logout and return another time. So, if you are just using a CLI you will have to issue the mount command. As to the formatting, I used Gparted.....so fdisk fo...

I don't know in your case, but I had to install a NTFS reader/writer to use my new external drive....the drive came NTFS formatted. I used the ntfs-3g. As to formatting to ext3....I suggest you try to stay with windows capable formats if you are going to use it on a windows computer. :-) I keep one ...

I have around 50gb of stuff I want to take with me.

So, you just want to install Lenny on a nice 2.5" USB mobile drive...right?

OK, first did you look to see if you are using the same extras that the other posters are saying they are using? Do you have flash installed, are you using the mozilla-totem plug-in?
Are all your codec up to date...have you checked what you can possibly add to allow the videos to work?
