- Code: Select all
rm -R /usr/downloads
Also since i dont have nvidia graphics and i noticed you do. Would you be interested in helping me with the portion of the guide pertaining to that? I have a set of directions laying around somewhere (will have to dig them up) that are rumored to work i just cant verify them.

I would finally have to agree with you on that one, tuxsax.

Going to try a couple of things & will let you know how it works out...just an update to let ya know I'm working on it...soon as I get the connection deal straightened out, I'll try installing the "Debian" way and see how that pans out....
EDIT: Mon 13 Apr@0120
Reinstalled Debian and followed procedures...Internet connection back up!! Couple of things you might want to note:
(1) OPTIONAL Part 5: If user elects to install gdm & iceweasel, the system will restart back into the Desktop. Add note (for noobie's) to start Terminal and proceed to Part 6;
(2) Part 7: Installation from nm-unstable ends with popup error "The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue." I clicked the "OK" button on this, and it does not appear to cause any problems with NetworkManager auto-detecting the modem (CDMA). Also not any problems connecting to the Internet. May want to insert a note about the popup error and to just click "OK" and continue with installation.
Had forgot about these before, but noted them when I reinstalled this time...now on to nVidia install...
If you had rather, I can take care of corrections for you (if you don't mind me editing the How-to) so that doesn't take up more of your time and you can concentrate on what you're currently working on (I'll highlight the changes I make in green) so you'll notice the changes easily when you get a chance to scan back thru...
aptitude install module-assistant build-essential fakeroot dh-make debconf bzip2 wget debhelper libstdc++5 linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Return to How To's (Do not post questions please)
