If the laptop's old enough to have a 2 gig drive, it most likely will have apm (which simply works) rather than acpi (which needs a lot of work). > that too can be worked around.

I don't know about base, but I've got a working laptop here with enough for me on ~600Mb of a 2 gig drive. Debian sarge with X, LaTeX, firefox, dillo, fluxbox (rather than gnome or kde) and openoffice, enough to make a usable system for me. Dev software could end up taking a lot of space, once you start getting away from the core C libraries. -- Stephen Patterson http://patter.mine.nu/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] remove SPAM to reply Linux Counter No: 142831 GPG Public key: 252B8B37 Caution: breathing may be hazardous to your health. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
