[Sussex] Debian install ?

[Rheille]

John,

If you know the URL of the file, you could use wget.  Its quite easy,
but you need to know the url of the file you are looking for.

And to browse the web to find it... Theres always lynx!!!

On the X drivers point.  Try specifying 'vesa' as the driver (its
generic and it worked for ny Nvidia Radion card...)

So,

As it stands, I seem to have managed to install the debian woody base
system.

I can't get X installed, as it would appear that woody doesn't have
drivers 
for my nvidia GeForce 4 MX420 graphics card.

I get the message 

(EE) No devices detected

Fatal Server Error
No Screens Found

then theres a bit about bug reporting followed by

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)

Now Ive got a link for up to date nvidia drivers, but with no X, no
browser 
(and I don't know how to burn cd's with linux anyway!)

So, is there a way of getting the updated nvidia drivers without a
browser or 
getting a newer version of X or perhaps because I have managed to get
the 
base system installed, is there a way to get an updated distro i.e.
Sarge ?

Any idea's much appreciated

regards

John D.
