How did I hork up the boot record? Did you install an initrd kernel and not configure lilo for it?

You probably want to upgrade to unstable, as the X server in woody is two years old. Install the xserver-xfree86 and xbase-clients packages. http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/FAQ -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
