I installed those two now too - xwindows tries to open but it closes back :(

Man this sucks.

I am now going to reinstall Linux with desktop options, and will install fluxbox after that, hopefully it will work like that.

hi !
you did not answer to this question : what is your gfx board ?
what is your swap size ?

Debian+Gnome standard install should be working enough fat to be able to install xfce or fluxbox from it.

My swap is 318megs. I managed to install xfce4 fine, it is better than Gnome, much better, but still a little bit slow...

But first, I am trying to copy the kernel to /boot/ but bash is giving me the error:

COPY: command not found

It seems it does not understand the simple command 'copy'

Any ideas?

Thanks!

'copy' is called 'cp' :-)

yes, the error about "copy / cp" is in your tutorial Geoffrey.
"Copy" is an AmigaOS command :)

@Everblue: sorry to insist, but could you please tell us what is your graphic card type ? (ATI RADEON 9250 or other...). That will help to make a compatible and "enough speed" list of the supported 3.3V graphic cards.

@SSQ : sorry for this mistake. It's corrected :-)

Well it's a bit less good than a 9250 with 128Mb but it should be enough for gnome...
That's really strange. Here Gnome is quite slow, but I can at least open a connexion and use it.

By the way, is it a PCI card or an AGP one ?

Gnome is very slow and not usable here too (radeon 9250 128Mb) The windows flickers and it's too slow to do anything.
I use XFCE4 instead. Which is slow as well.
But i really don't like fluxbox.

geoffrey:
With a brand new 5400 RPM HDD, 896 MB Swap and
Debian Desktop installation I have a load avarage
between 5-6 just by having the desktop loaded.
Opening a top menu takes many seconds, up to a
minute. Loading Firefox took 5-10 minutes and
opening www.pegasos.org took 5 minutes.

It's is totally unusable without some serious
tweaking.

I use 9200SE with 128 MB RAM. Maybe you do some
magic to make Gnome usable?
