and I got reported, sheesh.
Also the MSI Nvidia graphics card works perfect in windows 7, but here it's all wonky, I get streaks coming out from the upper left corner, so I thought can I install an nvidia driver?
Card is nvidia 6200
ok, about to give up on debian, maybe try ubuntu. I have used ubuntu in the past for years.
I tried apt-get-install lxde
but since I installed off usb, it wants media/cdrom for the files, as somehow in some dumb stupid way, it cant get the files off the internet like ubunut always did
that is sources.list, an i was missing.
The video driver and the desktop are two different things. You need a working video anyway. I would suggest you to fix this nvidia issue, but slow down a bit.
You need to remove the CD/DVD images from sources.list (add a # before deb cdrom ....)
