Hi, I've been using debian for a while but am still a relative newbie. I just bought a new pc with Advansys Initio SCSI driver. The supplier asked me what OS I wanted; I asked for Linux. They told me I would have to use RedHat, since the Initio drivers (which are only supplied in binary format) have only been in the kernel from 2.2.6 on. So I have a RedHat system - but I don't like it much and would prefer to have Debian. I know how to upgrade the kernel, given a particular distribution - what I don't know is how to change the distribution given a particular kernel (I'd also like to redo the partitioning, so I really need to start everything from scratch). I can't just run through the normal Debian installation procedure since the install program (logically) can't see my hard drive. Do I have to wait for potato, or is there some way round this?
Thanks Graham
