Well, not Progeny but Sid is running like a breeze here on I8000 (even the internal MiniPCI Combo Card with Ethernet AND Winmodem works). > The machine is somewhat 'bleeding' edge, and so far, of the various > distributions I've tried, only Mandrake 8.0 has successfully installed on > it. You can download a tarball with all necessary files and docs to get a perfectly supported I8000 under Debian from http://people.debian.org/~gbechly/dell.tgz With this tarball you even get a custom kernel 2.4.3, XFree86-4 configs, customized debs for SVGAlib and PCMCIA etc. But please do read the enclosed docs BEFORE installing!!! > However, I want Debian on it. Any help is most appeciated. Good decision (Mandrake may rock during installation, but badly sucks later). Best luck with the installation.
