http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ I would use this and install sarge not woody on a laptop, the newest installer is great, I tired it out yesterday, and it even has some wireless network card modules. You can boot the installer with "linux26" at the prompt (press F3 for all the other boot options) and it will give you a 2.6 kernel. Woody is a great release, extremely stable and well supported with security patches, however for a laptop, that is unlikely to be used as a server for example (although some folks do) I would go with sarge instead. -- Angelina Carlton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
