No probs, will do my best to help you…

by the way, are you not having this random bug where your ethernet connection simply dies?

I don’t think I’m far enough along for that.

It certainly doesn’t happen when I’m not bound to a domain. I’ll let you know about the stability when I do get bound though.

My blind attempts seemed to end in more or less unuseable systems. X sessions never starting and pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 to drop into console took about 15 minutes. It ended up easier wiping and rebuilding them than trying to fix them.

Pretty disastrous, eh? I’d kind of gotten demoralized and was just going to make do without but if you can explain some of how to do it to me that would be great.

well, to get going more quickly, here is my hotmail add if you want to chat using messenger… [email protected]

otherwise, if you can’t come online, i recommend starting from a fresh install… and then i’ll tell you which packages you need to install and how to configure them…

I’m glad you were able find some of the information useful. One additonal thing besides the debian notes being rough is they are also rather old. The file those notes were copied from is from is dated Feb 2004. I think I was still using Panther at the time. You’re probably right that ther might be more debs listed than needed. I just didn’t spend the time to refine it like the redhat doc.

I would definitely be open to some sort of collaboration on Ubuntu. We could maybe do some kind of creative commons license for it. I have Ubuntu(i think 6.06 server LTS) setup in a VM and played with it off and on but haven’t spent any time beyond installation and just general poking around in X Windows. I think it looks like a good distro though.
