tried installing debian 1.3 but it cannot do the 'startx' command as
bash cannot find it
maybe the debian system does not like my SiS 5598 chip on the motherboard
which is the ASUS SP97-V
the slackware and redhat run oK but I had to use a special driver for the 5598
which I got from the SuSE URL before it was put into the 3.3.3 of XFree86
also there is a special version of the xf86config file
Xconfigurator is no use
