Debian: I like it :)

[James Colannino]

I got it to start working.  Now I have another problem.  It starts 
loading KDE, then the X server aborts suddenly in the middle of loading 
the Window Manager.  When I read the output to tty1, it said something 
to the effect of:

(something about fonts) unix:7000 Font (something) not found!
Exiting on Signal 11, X Server aborted

That is nothing like what it actually said, but I hope what I typed 
includes the most important elements.  Any ideas?
