Hi, I just received a new Latitude C810. On my old laptop (a toshiba) I had only linux installed. I'm wondering if I can erase Win2000 (not for the refund, but it's the principle that counts :-)) of the Latitude without having any problems. I have in mind two problems that could arise
- Trouble for performing BIOS upgrades (anyone can tell me what BIOS these machines have anyway?) - Trouble for creating the hibernation partition. I found already on the web there was an win executable to create the partition, but those are somewhat hard to run under linux... If the latitude has a phoenix bios however, I would use lphdisk to create the partition - Others?? So, would it be wise to just insert my debian bootdisk and fly? Another question: <http://www.m2n.com/projects/mlmps/laptop/dell/latitude/c810/> doesn't mention any problems with the built-in network card, however according to the docs this is a combo card (optional 3Com 10/100 LAN + 56K, V.90 Mini PCI Modem) Anyone knows more about this issue?
