[avols143]

Hey Friends...
I installed Debian Linux 3.0, I have Intel P4 and I have Cable net(with out user name & password). When I start system so internet start automatically..
Now how can I config all these in Debian??? But remember Debian start at login prompt NOT in graphical mode. I want to setup internet configuration in Debian and want to install new CVS's form XFree86.org to boot in graphical mode... OR any other advise to me to setup this all, because I am new to Linux..Thanks

Well to get into gui mode, just type startx.
And if everything is setup up correctly you should be taken to the Gui..

cheers

edit the /etc/inittab and change the runlevel to 3 or 4. This will boot you always in graph mode.

For you interface make sure its up and running, and has an ip-address. If not you may have to get a good driver for your nic and compile it in the kernel or autoload it as a module.

Greetz,

Hmm, please correct me if im wrong, but isnt runlevel 3 multiuser with network capabilities, and without GUI, runlevel 4 is left empty for personal use, and runlevel 5 for GUI? Just a thought.

Cheers.
