However, your card is not a FlashPoint and does not require special support. I have a BT948 and it works as well. But the BT930 and others do not work without special support. The BT930 and other FlashPoint cards are fantastic cards. I hope people don't avoid them because of the Debian support issue. I also hope that Debian 2.0.32 disks are made that correct this oversight. Thanks, Jeff -- Please reply to me using planetfall.com (jeff@).

So I installed Linux. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
