Duh, I'm so thick! I realised there was a close gadget inside each tab but I was still looking for a - button as well. Crawls back behind rock.

Maybe it's the version I am using as it only has the + button on the right hand side?

Hope you have a great show. I'm just sorry I could not attend.

Away from my Sam-Flex ATM, will post my Xorg.conf file tomorrow.

@acefnq

Thanks, I will try some of your speed ups over the next few days.

@tommysammy

SUCCESS. It now works on my SAM Flex too!

My problem was caused by hitting return at the end of the (long) install process which shutdown the session before I could make the final edits to the menu.lst file. I had to go through the whole process again to get to that point.

Nevermind, I now have Debian Lenny running of my SAM Flex-800. Compared to AmigaOS4.1 it's pretty slow but at least it's running. Many thanks to the Elwood guide and all who offered advice and assistance.

Yes, I've given up for the moment but would like to get E-UAE running on my A1-XE.

I've given up for the day. I downloaded and Installed the experiential Debian net-install iso. I got right to the end of the install and as it completed (successfully) the CD-rom drive opened, I pressed continue and the SAM rebooted to uboot. ARRRGGGHHH!!

There did not appear to be an option to stop this process. Is there a way to get back to the end of the install process, without going through the whole installation process?

Thanks,

TrevorD

@Elwood & @gerograph

Many thanks for the tip. I thought I had downloaded ACube's experimental GART release, but I will do it again and give it another try. I will report back.

TrevorD

@TiredOfLife

OK, used the new Net-install iso on the ACube website. This time eth0: detected immediately.

Following Elwood's guide now at step 16 having just chosen the Desktop environment. However, the installation has now stalled at "Select and install software" after about 5% completion.

Does Debian really install? I'm starting to have my doubts.

Perhaps I need to choose a better Debian Mirror site for the software download. I selected one in the UK. Can anyone please advise a site which is known to work?

BTW trying to install on a SAM440-Flex (800MHZ)


UPDATE: tried again using a different Debian mirro (one in France) but installation process still stalled at the same place!

@redfox & @Snuffy

Thanks guys, I think the problem may lie with AF2008, I can run EUAE from the files on the AF2008 CD but of course cannot save or change anything. When I copy the relevant directories to my HDD I get the grey DOS screen.

I seen to recall that AF2008 has some additional protection (other than the ROM) that prevents it being simply copied to a HDD. When it is installed on a Windows systems this extra protection is copied automatically?

I may need to try with a Kickstart ROM image acquired from one of my Classic Amigas?

@TiredOfLife

Found this on the Cube website:-

When the installation process asks you to select an ethernet hardware, select "ibm_newemac".

Will try it tomorrow,
