Lenny outperforms Windows 7 using Nvidia NVS 280 graphics card
Had some spare time last weekend so I installed Windows 7 on a desktop before installing Lenny. Specs are below, but in a nutshell, the graphics card is a PCI Nvidia NVS 280, which is supported in Windows 7 by official drivers. Doing nothing but a stock Lenny installation (plus flash player) after testing Windows... 29 Jun 2010 18:30

The empty primary partition, where should it be
Hi, Do you have empty primary partitions? Have you noticed where they are? When leaving an empty primary partition, I'm thinking: /dev/hda1 Primary /dev/hda2 Primary /dev/hda3 Empty /dev/hda4 Extended /dev/hda5 Logical but what I found most existing partitions look like this: /dev/hda1 Primary /dev/... 6 Jul 2010 07:52

Debian Install stalls at 5% (at least for 3 hours, don't know if it suffices to designate this state as `stall')
Hi, I'm installating Debian Lenny on an old P2 350 Mhz to make a server. The BIOS has been flashed to get the most up-to-date configuration with this really racing beast. This P2 had, before, RH, that I deinstalled. I tried a first Debian install, which stalled at 5%. I then re-tried, and here I am: stuck at 5% ... 29 Jun 2010 17:23

I often install Debian on different computers, but I noticed, this time (I'm using a netinst, as always), that, as always, in the partitioning, it... 4 Jul 2010 04:43
