(www.knoppix.org) Its Debian based, can be installed to harddrive and could possibly get you going. b. have you considered installing a woody minimal system, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade? Allthough the word `nvidia' makes this kind of unlikely c. have you considered trying out any other distro you happen to get your fingers on? I'm *not* saying: forget Debian. I *am* saying: given the timeframe, would ``any'' running distro do fine for you? I'm ignoring any details here of what could work, because I don't know. But you can always leave some space on the disk for Debian to come :-) just my 2 cent, your mileage may vary. You say ``notebook'' and just in case you don't know these: http://tuxmobil.de http://tuxmobil.com http://linux-laptop.net Erich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
