| Message-ID | <ADtqq-1Xq-3@gated-at.bofh.it> |
I installed 10.3 when it first came out and really enjoyed it. I saw 10.4 come out so I went to that and was highly disappointed. I did not like the idea that the icons were hidden and some hard to get to. So I waited until 10.5 came out and went to that with the same problems. I hated it. I went back to my 10.3 dvd installer after I formatted my HD, but it would not install the same version I had originally. It went to the 10.4 & 10.5 structure. How come? The original 10.3 was great and I would like to go back to that, otherwise I will go somewhere else. Please help me. Thank you. Bob Price

The user interface that you choose to use with debian can be one of
several. It sounds like you dislike the default. Try a different one. Or if
you're feeling adventurous, try configuring the one you have to be how you
like.

Because the installer will install from the CD-ROM image, and then upgrade as part of the installation. So installing from a 10.3 CD will always produce a 10.X where X is the latest. You could bypass that by doing an expert installation. However, you would then have to forbear upgrading ever again, which leave you vulnerable to insecurities that will go unfixed. That I recommend against. This sounds more like a problem with your desktop than with Debian, which you did not indicate. I suggest you go ahead and install to 10.5, and upgrade daily or every few days, as customary. I don't know what's going on with your icon issue (not least because you didn't indicate the desktop). I will suggest you take that up with people who are familiar with that desktop, such as folks on this list, and the upstream support for your desktop. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

As I have limited bandwidth, I routinely install from purchased DVD sets. nuf said :!
