-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Well, I got Debian going pretty well now. I got ALSA working with the proper order of sound cards, my network is using static address as I wish, and the default kernel supports NTFS so am able to read and write to my ntfs file system from normal users. I do have one question that is bugging me. I can't seem to get the console to go into any mode other than 25X80 mode. Even at the boot prompt or in lilo.conf, I can specify vga=791 (first choice, vga=extended (should give me 50 lines) but no matter what, I boot and always get the 25 lines. Under slackware, I got 50 lines all the time with vga=extended. So I think there is something in Debian that is overriding me or Deb don't like my video card. Is there something else I should be looking for to control this? My biggest herdle now is to learn the configuration environment of Debian. I'm used to editing configuration files and Debian has got these config scripts to simplify thing; I just need to learn them. I appreciate the help and the help previously given me concerning the boot problems. Thanks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAkjzvi0ACgkQWSjv55S0LfHpMgCfVzLlsOONWkDbaZZ+ioYcbSPo uKkAnAlfUYKiyRvkwHpd17M7prdYSNCN =rouL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
